Are we going to be able to convert our bike to run the new E85 fuel.[15% ethanol] Is the MOCO working on conversion kits,or will only the new bikes run it. And we can sit in the garage looking at ours because we can't sell them.

 

why the *** do you want to run that crap??????????????????

 

The new E85 fuel is 85% ethanol not 15%.

Personally, I really doubt that E85 will become a dominate fuel in the US in the foreseeable future. We just don't have anywhere near the crop capacity in the US to convert the entire country to E85 fuel, let alone have anything left to eat. We have already seen the price impact at the grocery store, caused by the increase in production of E10 fuel (10% ethanol), due to the shortage of a surplus crop supply.

Just my .02

 

+1. Ethanol would be nice, but there is not enough land area on the planet to grow enough crops to replace gasoline with E85.

Corn just broke $6/bushel. Unfortunately, I suspect the price of diesel is killing our farmers.

 

E85 will cost you about 25% more per mile ridden than gasoline. That's because is gets almost 30% less gas mileage (unless the motor is tuned for it--then it won't run as well on gasoline). It is a politician's dream: buy votes from corporate farmers and the Big Three (law lets them make more gas hogs), increases fuel sales, fools the environmentalists, and best of all--creates more air pollution for the government to "help us" regulate. We've got the World's best politicians. But, you won't be able to get E85 is most places. So at least most of us won't have to bother with it. We'll just pay the bill.
