My tank and front fender of my Yamaha are at a body shop til Dec, getting fixed. Do I need to drain my carb bowls while I'm waiting on them to get fixed?

Fuel won't evaporate or turn gunky in a month. If you plan on it sitting the rest of the winter, then maybe. But just a month won't hurt it.

My 95 VT1100C2 has been stored for 6 months each year since new . I have never drained the E10 fuel. In 2008 I was abroad for a year so bike was stored for 18 months with E10 and Stabil and full tank. In 2010 I emptied the old fuel from the fuel valve and used it in my Accord. I replaced the fuel and after a few tries engine fired and no problems.
