To some extent, the amount of trouble you might have depends upon the carburetor (they don't all corrode or gum up the same, believe it or not,) the local climate, and the quality of gas. But if you add the recommended amount of Stabil and run the bike on that gas until it's in the carburetor, like fill the tank, add the Stabil, and go for a short ride before you park it, this is going to help.
One of the other things the Stabil will do for you is help keep the fuel petcock and the petcock screen from plugging up. I have seen as much trouble there as in carburetors, especially in vacuum-operated (automatic) fuel valves.
Alternately, there is a lot to be said for draining your float bowl when you park the bike for the winter. Most bikes have a drain screw on the float bowl which makes this easy to do. This has the added benefit of getting rid of any water or dirt which may have accumulated there, which happens a real lot more than most folks realize. When I worked as a mechanic in a Jap shop I fixed a lot of "runs rough" complaints just with that.
