My ZX6r won't like it. The 2007 model on wards is ok. Mine is a 2005 / 2006.

Any occasionally used carb engine will be a pain, for me that is a chain saw,two strimmers, rotavator, two lawnmowers, Cub and SV - so I guess I will be paying extra for the 'Super'

Re: E10 petrol

should I figure out how to make my fuel mixture a little bit richer on K3 (fuel injected but without O2/lambda sensor so running just a predefined map)?

from MCN:
"Suzuki models made after 2002 are compatible with E10 and those made after 1992 might be but owners should seek advice."

A K3 should be ok, your fuel economy will drop slightly. The main problem is ethanol's love of water which then causes a phase change and the components separating out with a gel-like gunk at the bottom of the tank. If the vehicle is used regularly it isn't a problem.

Re: E10 petrol

My understanding is that as petrol evaporates in a carb the ethanol tends to coagulate blocking the fine jets, is this correct? With fuel injection the high pressure created tends to clear the crap away?
