Jeesh, ya think this one was causing any issues? Below is the crap that came out of it. I can't even blow through it. Between this, the filthy air filter, the bad TPS and all the crap in the gas tank I don't know how this thing ran at all.

Sorry Coyote, think you just stopped at to many out of the way gas stations.

Going on 90,000 on my stock filter.  :teeth:
I think the ethanol is keeping it clean.

You are supposed to change the fuel filter?? :nix: :hyst:

71,000 miles on my 2010 Ultra, original filter. I suppose I could take a look this winter!
I am an adult?? When did that happen, and how do I make it stop?!

Your really going to use a politician to prove a point ?

I live around work and ride with  with farmers . 
So I know the debate .  ( right now they are crying about 2.00 a bushel corn going into harvest )
Most were to greedy to lock into 8.00 a bushel when they had the chance .  :hyst:
All that aside .... The fuel is fantastic .

:agree: I like it, my head temps are 25 degrees cooler on E85, I can cruise in traffic now in 90* ambient air temp and never even approach EITMS.

My bike has 22k on it now, maybe I should have a look see at the ol' filter, Thanks for sharing Coyote.

E85 in the tank? :hyst:
Absolutely, don't knock it till you try it.

Wouldn't be possible without power vision, I have 3 different E85 maps and my E10 map all in the PV, Just switched back to 93 octane E10 yesterday as the ambient temps are getting cooler.

Flash the map and go.  :up:

More power to ya brah! And it doesn't eat up the fuel system? I don't see why E20 is creating so much controversy then? Some day in the not too distant future E85 will be only gas avaleable. I thought the picture was just a spoof.

When tuned properly, a guy could essentially run what ever he wanted for compression, and the bike will run significantly cooler.
I like it, Stroker is the one that got me to try it.

Drawbacks are availability and mileage, but with power vision, if in need of fuel and in an area that E85 is not available, run it down low and fill up with the premium e10, flash the gas map, and ride on.

I've been running it most of the summer without any ill effects to date.

Sweet. Good to know.  Fuel mileage loss? :pop:

Fuel mileage is decreased because it takes about 25-30% more to get the afr where it needs to be.

My bike gets 28-30 on E85, and 40-43 on E10, riding like I have some sense.

E85 stations plentiful in my area, but few people buy it. Is it worth a cleaner cooling running engine.

To me it is.

We have some, not a lot, in my general area, but if touring outside the corn belt a guy would have problem getting it.
