What is the fuel capacity of my stock 77 cb750f2?

Stabilizing fuel for hibernation. Don't want to over mix.

Thanks

It should be around 5 gallons.

Thanks again Tools.

I did some more digging. Found in a couple sources 18 liters or 4.76 gal, but couldnt find it printed in any owners manual or factory manual to be official.

Prob a bit too anal about some of these things. End up mixing a touch heavy according to the stabil label to be on the 'safe' side.

Bonus find in the process of winterizing: the P.O. had installed an AGM battery! Didn't know this until I pulled it for the season.

I have been using SeaFoam the last couple of years, with no problems at the spring start up. I can't see being off by 5% or so on the stabilization fluid to gas ration would matter a whole lot. What _might_ help would be to use some ethanol-free gas (if you can find it). Not sure what alcohol would do sitting in a tank for 3-4 months.

Nice find, that AGM battery. It might help to take it out of the bike, and put a battery tender like device on it.
