Yes!!!
I have been riding with people that have had to clean their carb on the side of the road. Grant it was a daily rider....like serously every day. But, their carb looked like it was sitting for years when they pulled it off. I do think moisture has a lot to do with it. Here in the south it is humid as fuck and pump gas has a shelf life of 3 months. Ethanol free can sit in a bike for a year and start with no prob. To each his own, I just don’t want to put it in my bikes.
