this is a subject I hate cause E85 is a joke ... most new high dollars cars wont run on it ... I had a BMW towed in to my shop last year with running problems and after about 4 hours of back and forth found that the person was running low grade fuel with 10% mix ... think about what the e85 would do .....
it burns up sensors
runs hotter
loss of gas mileage
and to add to it farmers are switching a lot of there crops over so they can cash in on this BS form of fuel ... and if you look around on the internet there was a study last year where a college took fuel samples from a bunch of diffrent gas stations and found that a lot of them where running 15 and 20 % and not the 10% or less they claimed ...what a joke

As others have said an engine needs to be setup much richer to run e85. Stoich for gasoline is 14.7 to 1. For e85 it is somewhere areound 9.5 to 1.

yeah it take 3 times the amount of this crap VS 1 part gas ... so if your bike was getting 50 miles to the gallon on gas with no eth. then it would get 50 miles to 3 gal's of straight eth. what a joke ... god I hate this stuff and it didnt help the gas prices at all ... if anything they are making more cause its cheaper to produce ...
