Im about to start running this in my bike as much as a i can. I know the ethanol in boat motors reeks havoc on the FI or carbs. Does anyone run Ethanol free in their bike?

In the part of the country I live in, we don't have a choice. It all has 10% ethanol.
Same deal here. I did, however, run a couple tanks of 91 octane ethanol free while touring Oregon... Honestly, made very little (if any) difference in the bike's performance... 10% ethanol fuel, on the other hand, is terrible in my 1987 marine 454... Had the carb apart 6 times last year. Burned me out and don't even want to deal with it this year... my boat is still winterized.

same here. All I have run for 29K and FI performance is great as always. No engine trouble. Have never had any problem burning 10% ethanol in any car i have owned.

I run alky free 94 in the dirt bike. But since the old Busa runs quite happily on 87 octane, I always have to use E10. Almost 20,000 miles and no problems.
