BTW, as long as your bike is FI then don't worry about stabilizer.
My winterizing process consists of taking the battery out. That's it.

Warm weather next week but bike is winterized

Fuel injected or not, gel, gum and varnish are bad things. A stabilizer helps protect against that and more.

Simply. Just top your bike up with de-winterizing fluid, start it up, put the throttle to the kitchen for 60 whole seconds and your off to the races.

I have carbs and I NEVER winterize my bike. Never had issues.
The best part is that you can ride it any day during the winter season when we get 'off weathers' like the rain washes off the salt. I ride my bike as long as there's no snow/below or significant salt on the ground.

Sure but it sits for 3 months at best in my case.
Carbs are much more sensititve than FI, jets are easily plugged. Cleaning them is no fun.
I'm not saying don't put stabilizer in but it hasn't been necessary in any of the FI bikes I've had.
Sticky injectors are not fun to fix, and can also cause some nasty issues.
Just sayin. Stabilizer is cheap.

You were credible until you wrote "just sayin". 
Seriously though, I don't disagree. $10-15 is not much for a peace of mind.
However, I think in my situation, the vehicles don't sit long enough for gas to turn into varnish.
