    I thought most standard unleaded was already adulterated with Ethanol (as is some premium).

    It can make plastic tanks swell and can cause damage to seals and fuel lines. I suspect neither would actually be an issue to you and the importer of your bike is arse covering "just incase". If it is an issue it'll be more likely the problem of the next owner.

    As far as I've read and understood, between 0-5% ethanol in petrol does not need to be disclosed at the pump and for all anyone knows, you probably are running on that stuff and as linked in the AA article this is not likely to have any adverse effects or compatibility issues.. but at 10% there is an issue as highlighted in my manual and the fact that any car pre 2009 might have a problem got me to thinking.. is my bike going to be screwed when this kicks in?
