E10 Petrol and a Yamaha FZ1

[NathFZ1]

Does anyone know if these two are compatible? I came across an article in a motorbike magazine saying that the two weren't on some bikes.

 

I ride a 2008 Yamaha FZ1SA. I've just put some E10 in it and although it is running fine and I've just drive around 10-15 miles on it, the bike felt different. The engine sounded calmer, the revs weren't as loud and normally you can feel the bike pull away when you give it even a tiny bit of throttle. Gonna do some more research but would welcome any thoughts.

I wouldn't have thought it is due to the bike being a 2008 maybe worth a phone call to a local Yamaha dealer.

I have a Yamaha and it runs on E10 just fine. I thought Yamaha were ahead of the game and all their bikes from 1990 onwards were compatible. Still better off doing your own research.

All Yamaha models from Model Year 1990 are compatible with E10. Older models should continue to use E5.

That's good news saves the faf of having to worry about fuel lines going hard etc.

Congratulations it’s great to hear that you’ve passed your MOD2 at last.
