[QUOTE="Robert Watson, post: 137969, member: 38"] The biggest problem is that ethanol is [B]hygroscopic[/B] (absorbs water) if left to its own devises for too long. It likes to grow little green moldy bits in tiny little orifices, or just everywhere, but bits find their way into small places it shouldn't be. I have run it from time to time, especially if on a longish trip and using the bike pretty consistently. I try for non ethanol fuels when I can but always the last tank or two before winter layup is non ethanol. I run herringbone hose on both post war twins and havent had to change any that I can recall. Of course you may get different results as my E10 isn't necessarily your E10 [/QUOTE]
