Any gas can go bad, the oil should be fine.. What i do on my banshee when i don't ride much i use a fuel stabilizer and before i ride i shake the quad a little to get the oil from the bottom of the tank to mix with the gas...

My gas is already pre-mixed in the tank of my bike. Just wandering how long the pre-mixed gas in my tank will stay good?
Thanks,Davey

Not long without some sort of stabilizer, maybe a month or two its hard to say...

remember to get the oil/gas mixed good after setting for a while the oil will settle on the bottom of the tank..
