Dirt Bike?
So i want to buy a dirt bike for the summer but I was wondering that after every ride would I need to empty the gas tank as if I do get a dirt bike I won’t be on it every week/ day so should I empty the gas after riding on it

There is no need to empty the tank after every ride. Gasoline is very stable and will last several months. You might turn off the petcock under the tank so that fuel doesn't leak into the cylinder(s). If you plan on not riding for several months or over the winter be sure to put stabilizer in the gas. Any gas that's over a year old should be replaced.

No. any gas will last a few months. Might wanna drain carb(s), if you have 'em
Wanna Bet, adam? I'll bet you don't believe I was in ADC those 4 years, either? ADC# 27499_. I put the 4 gallons that sat from 2012-2016 in my old Chevy into my Honda in '16 when I was was flat broke, needed the H. to get to class. Started Right Up on what was left in carb bowls; more to the point; also started Right Up every time when it hit that old gas, too. For 6 days or so until I needed a fill up..

no motorcycle ever started with 4 year old gas in it. Flat out straight up lie. That carb was gummed up and the gas was varnish. As for you question no you dont have to empty that tank. If your worried just put fuel stabilizer in the tank. It will keep just fine for the short time you let it sit.
