I am sure I have read something on here about this last year but as usual the Search Facility is a waste of time
I have a f650 funduro at the moment..
I checked online with BMW and they said it was fine to run on E10
As far as I'm concerned they lied
I tried it with the E10 petrol and riding just felt flat the bike had no go i was revving higher to still not get the same out of my bike and although the E!) is cheaper I found I was using more
I changed to the E5 stuff and it was like my bike had come out of a coma it does go better nd the milage is a bit better
It works out moire expensive using either of one of this cheaper to make but more expensive to buy fuels ...as no doubt was the intention
I blame the idiots that believe a planet that is emerging from an ice age should not get warmer and paying more in tax and generally throwing money at the perceived problem will fix it.
But ...What this stuff is doing to my Carb I have no idea I hear this ethanol is not good for the older bikes or bikes with carbs
I have an oil leak I can't track down maybe its the ethanol rotting stuff already
I'm looking at chopping mine in and getting something else maybe even for once god forbid ... a new one
I've always shied away from the F650gs whatever size the engine really is but its maybe time to have a look before I abandon BMW altogether
But the question before I start looking is which petrol do they all run on and do they run ok... and what damage if anything is being sustained from the cheap ethanol shit
As ever any and all advice would be most welcome
