[QUOTE="an-guy, post: 1461940, member: 99303"] Thanks [USER=98512]@HilltownDave[/USER], [USER=19880]@RossKean[/USER], and [USER=93203]@RiderJoe[/USER]. I can't see it without removing plastics but I'll take it apart soon to check. It's not a very loud or noticeable or particularly concerning noise. Kindof just sounds like the timing/cam chain noise. The downside of a quiet bike is you hear every little noise and it can freak you out. At least it does me. I had read somewhere that E15 is usually like 12% ethanol. The E# just means the maximum allowed. I can't say I'd run E85 in anything, in normal cars your fuel economy suffers a lot and it's usually the same price as 88 or more expensive. Also, getting off task here but any cold weather riders? My temp gauge frequently sits at three bars once it gets below 30F. Wondering if my thermostat is stuck open, it usually sits at four bars from 30-75F. My VFR would hold 171F water temp exact to 25F. Wish my 08 had a digital temp readout... [/QUOTE]
