I run 50/50 av gas/premium and haven't started my bike in about 1.5 years, would I be OK to just fill the tank with fresh mixed fuel and some octane booster or would it be better to just drain the tank and flush the carbs? Also, I have after market headlights that are 30 watt halogens and my tail light is LED. Would adding a second set of headlights that are 26 watt LED's be too much of a strain on the electrical system or should it work fine? I'm not looking to upgrade to the higher wattage stator right now. Here is a link to the lights.

Info about my bike:

Ported/polished

Pro Circuit Platinum Pipes/304 silencers

Stock stator/flywheel

30w x 2 = 60w
26w x 2 = 52w (probably actually like 30w total)
60w + 52w = 112w

But the led lights are probably under driven by quite a bit to increase life. So they probably draw 10-50% less than advertised.
Stock stator is good to around 90w I believe. So go for it.

Octane booster literally does nothing..

 

Drain gas in bucket, pour contents of bucket onto quad, light on fire. This will save you lots of money, and headaches in the future.

 

Or if you enjoy headaches, drain fuel into bucket, clean carbs, pour in new fuel, use old fuel to start a bonfire.

Thanks for the replies, I figured I should drain the tank and carbs but I was being a penny pincher I guess. For the lighting, is there a way to tell if you are putting too much strain on the stator?
