Its a pain you have to drain everything when you turn it off

You'll only get like 20 miles to the tank. Not going to be able to trail with it anymore.

Alcohol doesn't work well on lower compression ratios. If you had a JE 12:1 piston it might. Also like they said, fuel consumption will kill you. Takes almost double the fuel when running alcohol.

i considered this but if you dont ride it it every weekend you have to drain it out. methanol will absorb water out of the air and cause a lot of corrosion, this is also why pump gas with a lot of ethonol cause's problems in small engines it can corrode the jets and other passage ways if left siting

the oil may have something to do with that, i dont know. but it is a common issue with alcohol motors that sit a lot

Ya maybe because of the premix but alcohol will corrode things fast like overnight

alky brand alcohol has topend cylinder lubricant specially design to prevent corrosion in 4 stroke engines...nuff said.
