I ran unleaded in 1985/89 with never a problem with my HONDA Odyssey.
1992 I ran a KAWASAKI 440 SCCA car and no problems there either. . ...............lm

unleaded meth blues

If you ran it everyday eventually valve seats will ware out. Methanol is a much bigger problem. everything rubber will be drained of its natural moisture,crack and leak. Do not store the bike for long periods of time with that stuff in the tank. Use a stabilizer made to treat gas with meth in it.

Before I sold the Mouse every time I ran it I used high octane unlead as that was all I was able to buy here in TEXAS and never a problem.
Not sure others run it but I did and no problems with anything. ........lm
