so here in oklahoma we have been forced to start taking e10 and e15 (10% and 15% ethanol mix in gas). we do not have a lable law that states that the gas stations haft to tell us how much ethanol. i have noticed that with one chain of stations the tt runs like crap and get crummy milage.

so there is this station advertizing 100% gas. i put a full tank in and whamo the bike starts running great and the mpg come back.

has anyone else had problems with e10 or e15?

Heard that could be a problem. I use Chevron and gonna have to check if it's corn fuel or whatever. Thanks!

The manual states E10 is the max you should be running.

If you run any more, you could risk not only bad mileage, but deterioration of fuel line parts.

I dont' think you'll have problems with either. If the fuel line/system can handle ethanol-10, it can handle ethanol-15. The real risk is that the mix will run lean with e15, but probably not enough to cause any real problems.
