has anyone used any alternative fuels

like alcohol or methanol or a mix with gas?

Nope, would rather not blow it up.

I guess you could use that if you get the mixture perfect. But I don't think it'll do much, if anything unless you have a really high compression setup.

Alcohol will not cause your engine to "blow up". It is actually about a 130 octane fuel but you have to burn about 1.5 times as much fuel to maitain a safe air to fuel ratio. It is only really useful in super high compression engines. Basically a complete waste of time and money to even think of for a Warrior.

well this is what I was looking at http://www.vpracingfuels.com/vp_01_fuels.html look at U4 fuel or MR10 or 11

its not stright ethanol but it is a mix with regular 92oct gas.
and I dont think that a 6% power gain will blow it up either.

A good oxiginated fuel will give you a little power increase and most of the time without the risk of problem. However it still needs to be rejetted when you use it also, usually richer by a couple sizes.

I just finished putting in a new piston so, after a few rides and I get used to the new motor I'm going to get a 5 gal pal and see how it works.

Have you priced this stuff? I know a 5 gal. can of U4 around here is about $60, thats $12 a gallon. If you can afford that for a minimal performance gain you should ditch the warrior and get one of the new KTM quads.

My local dealer sells a 5 gallon drum of race fuel for $15.00 i think.
