Ethanol 18RR

[antonio_beqa]

Hello i am interesting if in 98 fuel i will add 10 or 15 % ethanol what would happan? Any gain of hp or mabe its harming bike ?

My assumption based on what I have read on the subject:

No gain without a compression change.
Will need a remap to be safe...but then you could remap anyway.

I think the ignition timing would need to be adjusted to get any gain. My understanding is it would allow you to run more advance, without any pre ignition.

It will prematurely damage any rubber in the fuel system

As i know when maps are tuned for ethanol then using it but if it damages rubbers , even on tuned it will do it ?

 

[roadrunner]

It also damages any plastics in the fuel system

Yes and we're tearing down the rainforest to supply it.
