I will not put e10 in my 25 year old bike i do not care if I am told it is safe and effective
Any future issues ‐ how can I prove it was the e10 and who is going to compensate me. I will trust my instincts again on this me thinks
More internet scare mongering
bit like if you travel at over 20mph the air will be sucked out of your lungs, which was once banded about by scare mongers
Yesterday I pulled out my XJR1300 and my X10 both are filled with E10, both haven't been run since Oct last year, not even started, both started first prod. I see bikes week in week out that are run on E10 and have done so since it was introduced into the UK, I've yet to see any having issues with anything. Good friends of mine also in the trade in France, Belgium, Germany and Italy where E10 petrol has been used for something like 10 years and is the only type available, haven't reported any issues either. The issue is not engine/performance related in any case, it's fuel system seals and hoses. Basically most vehicles before the mid 80's/early 90's didn't have seals/hoses that can work with more than 5% ethanol without starting to degrade.
Most Jap manufactures can use E10 fuel from early 90's on nearly all models, the exception is Kawasaki who have problems with most of their range pre mid 20's and these must be run on E5 or have their fuel systems up graded. Lord knows why they didn't follow the others.
All Yams since 1990 can use E10, use it or don't, just stop scare mongering.
