we are on E10 at present and talk about E15 on the way .
ethanol the best thing ever invented for small engine shops has a short shelf life and causes lots of problems .
I always drain my tank when storing the bike over winter and put a bit of 2 stroke oil in the tank so it doesnt go rusty , when riding it I turn the fuel off and let the carb run dry when I get home ......used to be able to get ethanol free at marinas and airports but as far as I know everything here has ethanol now in Canada.

E15 has arrived on the west coast, at Chevron in particular, as one of our members in the local Classic bike Clubs does his own testing and confirmed last Tuesday. I used to use their premium 97 octane as it was ethanol free but now I will stick to gas from the airport where a friendly fellow has offered to keep us supplied
