Those kinds of things almost never work. What were you hoping to gain anyways???Anyone use this stuff? If so, results? Pro's and Con's?

Well here in the states they put Ethanol in every grade now... at least around western NY... It's BSBut unecessary if you just run quality 95 or 98 premium.
Sorry to break your marbles but it says nothing like that at all.... and i quote" page 13. Do not use fuels containing a high concentration of alcohol." also looked on page 28 titled "refueling" and their is no mention the the bike running better or preferring ethanol. As a matter of fact page 108 says this word for word "The following fuel blends are EPA-approved and can be used in your motorcycle: Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) 10% by volume max"... which is followed by a notice stating "Improper use of oxygenated fuels can damage metal, rubber, and plastic parts of your fuel system". If the stuff is so safe and good why bring all these specifics to light.Yeah, read the fuel requirements in the owners manual. they love ethanol.
Yup. Here in NY they are actually thinking of raising it above 10%oops, I was being a little sarcastic about the post above mine. Honda limits at 10%, but I have heard of higher amounts being used in some states, which is where the startron will be handy even with fresh gas.
Oxygenated fuel is like PC16 race fuel.Sorry to break your marbles but it says nothing like that at all.... and i quote" page 13.

The thing that intrigues me about this StarTron is that it's based on the same principles of of human biology of the liver. The liver uses enzymes to break down alcohol into harmless other chemical compounds to prevent it from ruining your body. Same in the bike... in theory it's enzymes break down the E-10 into harmless sub compounds of less volatile acetete (still an alcohol but not one associated with gas problems).
i had to read that twice... and realize that your super premium unleaded has lower octane than our lower end fuel. thats incredibleWell here in the states they put Ethanol in every grade now... at least around western NY... It's BS... like were communist now or something

Not really. Our fuel is based on PON (pump octane number) and yours is RON (Research Octane Test). American gas always seems not as good as RON when in fact it is the same (and has better quality control).i had to read that twice... and realize that your super premium unleaded has lower octane than our lower end fuel. thats incredible
