Sitting for 3 months, FI bike (MT-09). Siphon out of the tank or run it?
3 months is no problem at all
I don't think the MT-09 needed premium either. Should be fine.

Put some Sea Foam (a brand, pretty easy to find) in the tank and let it sit for a while. Should clear up any problems with older gas. I've used for years for bikes and engines that have to sit for long periods
BE CAREFUL with Sea Foam. See https://youtu.be/chsGBhB5g7o
I wouldn't use Seafoam as a gasoline treatment after the Project Farm video I saw on it. There are other stabilizers I'd choose before it. If it's just a couple months then wouldn't add anything.
