[QUOTE="TWILKIN650, post: 167648, member: 27"] I've not had any problems with 10% ethanol now mandated for the Houston, Texas area and surrounding counties in the FJR, but a friend of mine with a V-Star with carbs says that his dealer has a list of all the bikes with carbs he has in the shop with driveability problems that require carb cleanouts. I checked with a second Yamaha dealer in my neighborhood and they report the same issues. Not so many problems with FI bikes but lots with carbs. Plugged pilot jets, etc. are reported. Any one else have this report from your dealer service dept.? :( [/QUOTE]
