Not familiar with what 'stabilizer' is in this context - but you should 
be OK for several weeks.  I recently went travelling out of country for 
two weeks, and in total my ST must have been left undisturbed for at 
least three weeks, and there wasn't any problem with fuel.  In an 
earlier life I left my first bike (a Yamaha RS100 two-stroke) at my 
university hall of residence over a summer vacation period while off 
travelling (about 12 weeks in all) and it was fine too.

But quite probably I've missed the point - what is this stabilizer 
business about then?
