Can a Suzuki Hayabusa run off of Bio-fuel (B85), and if so do it burn cleaner in your engine and what kind of performance drawbacks or benefits do it have. The owner's manual suggest 89 mid-grade fuel, and also states that gasohol may be used (grain,alcohol) if the ethanol content is not greater than 10%. Has anyone put this concept to real world practice and what was the results?
Has anyone used Bio-Fuel?
Don't try running the E85, your fuel injection system isn't calibrated for it. There's fewer Btu's in an equal amount of ethanol than in gasoline and the result will be a very lean mixture. E85 also delivers less gas mileage because of it's lower energy content.

E85 is 85% ethanol so you can not use it in a bike with worrying about the ethanol causing many problems in a short time. They say you could use 10% max but why do it, you will get less miles per gallon with it.
Reply:Less output due to the less BTU's that B85 puts out.
Now if you have more alcohol in your system get ready to replace seals in your fuel system.
Reply:Ethanol content of 10% is pretty much standard practice now.
They use the ethanol instead of MBTE to oxygenate the fuel so it burns cleaner. Essentially, the ethanol is an additive, not the fuel.
