You'll be fine, millions of NON flex fuel vehicles run it everyday without issue and have for years. But like stated just dont store your bike with ethanol blended fuel in it for long periods of time (like a year+)

 

That's because you ship that crap away from you and force us to buy it. I have to travel almost 15 miles to get non-ethanol gas and then pay a 50% premium for it. I do it for small engines because I'm tired of dealing with lawnmowers that refuse to start and require new carb gaskets due to corn juice.

 

Fuel injected bikes are ok. Carbed bikes, not so much.

 

Ain't nobody here forcing you to buy anything. That's the government. You don't like it, don't buy it! I've been running 10% in my mowers and other small engines for over 20 years with not one single problem. I suggest that maybe you move closer to the station that you purchase fuel from so the drive time will be more to your liking.

 

x2...Fuel injectors not affected like carburetors. All my small engines get stabil when stored for the winter and I never have issues. I like Stabil but you can use whatever.

 

E-10 is just fine in Harleys with fuel injection and working oxygen sensors. They're designed to handle it, and will automatically make the appropriate slight mixture change.

They'll even run a little bit cooler with E-10, since alcohol absorbs more heat when it evaporates than straight gasoline does.

So looking for pure gasoline is just a wast of time and money on any vehicle with a modern fuel system. Most of the horror stories are left over from many years ago, or from non-roadgoing engines, where compatibility wasn't required.

 

Been using 10% E-10 in everything for 20+ years. Hurts nothing. All the silly notions are BS. And I work on motors of all types and sizes.

 

Thanks for all the input guys, these forums and the members are the best.

 

EFI bike... zero issues. just stay way from high than 10%. I like to run non-eth when I can, but have no issue putting either in the tank.

 

Don't mean to hijack this post. But on my new Street Bob, I didn't see anywhere in the manual as to what grade to run. I know on my '06 Hayabusa, I had to run premium. Are Harley's the same way?
