suzuki savage and bioethanol (Read 140 times)

I remember reading some place that bioethanol isnt good for the savage but cant find it again, help plc ! If i use the fuel will it damage the engine ? or have any other negative effect ?

In a pinch it might be nice to get 20 horse power on the flats. Wouldn't that be a hoot? What do they say? To err is human, to arrgh is pirate. Jack

e85 in itself won't cause any problems... It just takes more of it to do the same job as gasoline. Your bike will be running very lean on straight e85. With bigger (appropriate) jetting, you can have an alcohol screamer.
