Just filled up my bike today at a station with new stickers sayin the gas contains 10% or less ethanol...

Is ethanol ok in bikes?

 

you can run E-10 (10 % eth, 90% gas) ethanol in bikes, as well as cars. Gas companies are ****ing with different blends to decrease cost. Just don't run E-85 in your bike, unless you want to melt your pistons.

 

hmm so anything more than 10% Ethanol stay away from... this is gunna **** tryin to figure this out... i want MTBE back i dont care if my kids are "slow and special"

 

e85 doesnt melt your pistons it corrodes your fuel system.

the difference in the flex fuel vehicles that can take the e85 is the fuel lines and injectors and the whole fuel system is made from a material resistant to corrosion from ethanol

 

ahh, thanks martino, i thought it ran a lot hotter. i learned something :D

 

ethanol has been blended in gas for years youve probably ran it several times without even realizing it
