[QUOTE="whereshaldo, post: 174535, member: 10940"] Those issues are true for almost any old vehicle -- the rubber compounds just were not made the same. With old cars, the first thing to be done is to replace the fuel lines with ones of a more modern rubber composition. A pain in the ass, but less so than a fire. There are other issues as well. Ethanol fuel removes the oil buildup on cylinder walls and in bearings and can cause premature wear. I have also heard that I makes engines run hotter, which may be a contributing factor to my pre-ignition. I'll post back after I get some non-ethanol gas in the bike. H [/QUOTE]
