Default Lucas Flex Fuel, good idea?

This may not be the right place for this thread but the 2015 Street Glide is my first new bike.


Is this additive a good idea with ethanol gas? I bought a small bottle but wanted your thoughts.


We have ethanol free stations but none that close by. I run 91 octane mostly or 93 when I have to.


Any input is greatly appreciated.
TY, Dave

As far as your title of Lucas Flex Fuel, good idea? I hope you're not running E85 in your bike and that is what the Lucas Flex Fuel is for. Just run 92 or 93 with up to 10% ethanol and you'll be fine. If you're going to use an additive because of ethanol, I will use Starbrite on occasion. Good stuff.

I use E10 92 octane, basically the generic pump premium around here, don't see the need to use additives, bike runs just fine without them. I'll use regular Stabil over winter for the gas in the tank.
Use the additives if they make you worry less, they certainly won't hurt.

Thank you! Exactly why I posted, didn't know that about E85 and I do run high octane in the bike.
Thx again, Dave
