After reading the owner’s manual, it recommends 87 - 93 grade fuel with 10% ethanol. Did I mess up? Thanks in advance for your advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if you store your ride for any time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be a lot better if anything sits for a period of time. I believe when ethanol fuel evaporates it leaves a residue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
