Fuels Containing Alcohol
Some conventional fuels blended with alcohol
are available in some locales to help reduce
emissions to meet clean air standards. If you
plan to use blended fuel, check that it is
unleaded and meets the minimum octane
rating requirement.
The following fuel blends can be used in your
motorcycle:
●
Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) 10 % by volume
(max).
●
Petrol containing ethanol may be marketed
under the name Gasohol.
●
Methanol (methyl alcohol) 5 % by volume
(max) that contain cosolvents and corrosion
inhibitors to protect the fuel system. Never
use a blend containing more than 5 %.
The use of petrol containing more than 10 %
ethanol (or more than 5 % methanol) may:
●
Damage the painting of the fuel tank.
●
Damage the rubber tubes of the fuel line.
●
Cause corrosion of the fuel tank.
●
Cause poor drivability.
If you notice any undesirable operating
symptoms or performance problems, try a
different brand of petrol.
NOTICE
Use of blended fuels containing higher than approved
percentages can damage metal, rubber, plastic parts of
your fuel system.
