Ethanol is way cheaper right now in sweden than petrol it's at 86 octane - compared to the normal 95 octane. I've already run my car a whole year blending petrol with 25% ethanol without a single sideeffect. I know ethanol has a cleaning effect on the engine - that you need to run a richer mixture than with petrol (i think i should be able to even it out with the choke) and that it's burns better at higher compression ratios.
So in theory it should work fine - bikes have higher compression (i think i picked that up in a forum here).
Anyone run their bike on ethanol? I know there is a lot of complaining going on over your way concerning ethanol - i'm not sure if it's just hipe though...
Anyone with real firsthand experience?
if you haven't tried it, don't bother telling me it's crap. i need better material than that.
(and yes we've already had 12% ethanol mixed in our 'gas' over the past few years)
