Actually, you SHOULD have a full tank of gas (preferably high octane) and dump the indicated amount of stabilizer. As far as I’ve heard, that’s what you should do.
Here’s a GREAT guide for storing your bike for the winter: http://www.calsci.com/motorcycleinfo/Trailers.html#Storage
I quote from that site “Gasoline oxidizes as it ages. This produces varnish as a byproduct, which is bad for carburetor jets and fuel injector outlets. To avoid this use a fuel stabilizer. Add the amount recommended on the bottle in the tank and fill the tank completely with gasoline – a full gas tank won’t rust internally. Run the engine for a couple minutes to warm up the engine oil and to get the stabilizer into your carbs/fuel injectors. “
Hope that helps.
