2016 K1600gtl engine stalled after winter hibernation
2016 K1600GTL 4,400 miles. Winterized for about 6 months. Took out for warm up ride to change oil. Took about a minute to start and idled kind of erratic. Engine stalled about 4 miles out of town. Attempted start, engine turns over, engine check icon came on, no codes.
Suggestions please,
Peace.

You used fuel stabilizer I presume? Maybe condensation in fuel? Try can of heet, fuel system dryer.

Sorry hit return to quickly, pulling codes will provide more clues.

Procedures performed

Siphoned about 5 gallons of gas from tank and added marine grade Sta-Bil and no-ethanol gas. Bike idled pretty smoothly for about 15 minutes then started hiccuping til it stopped and does not start.
Ran all possible tests with my GS-911, all system working, no fault codes found.
Now what?
Peace.

I'll take it off your hands for $500......... kidding. Fuel, Air, Spark start there, surprised one of the "K" bike guru's hasn't weighed in yet.

Still sounds fuel related to me, if the fuel is good, possibility that a critter has nested in the intake or one of the fuel tank vents?

Chevron Techron

Or Seafoam and take it out for a good long run. When the tank gets almost to empty, fill it with fresh gas

Chevron Textron

Not Chevron WITH Textron, Chevron Textron. Use 1/2 the bottle and run the tank to reserve, Fill up and put in the rest of the bottle. A good long run will usually clear things up.

Best, Bill

Sounds fuel/delivery related.
But I'd check the air box.
Mickey and Minnie may have made a home there choking off the air flow.

These problems after storage seem to always be related to 3 possible things. 1. Fuel 2. Battery 3, Coil
If the gas is old, replace it.
If the battery wasn't on a trickle charger, replace it.
If the bike idles crappy, find out which coil is bad and replace it.

And a 4th that is always a possibility after storage, a rodent got into the wiring
