Anyone ever ran it? What if you mixed it with a stabilizer?

In race bikes? Of course not. Great for lawn mowers though.

Why would you want to do that, it makes less power per volume compared to gas.

I pitted next to a guy that tried E85. He was running the same fuel in his KX65 & Cobra. Corba ran fine, 65 sputtered & acted like it could foul a plug but didn't. He refused to believe it was a fuel issue. I finally convinced him to at least try some of my fuel, I was getting frustrated watching him be frustrated. I work with a guy that used to haul fuel, he said the inside of his tanker looked like it was polished after hauling a load of E85.

E85 in your race bike is a terrible idea. In cars, it's cheaper, helps out the economy a bit, but yea, you'll get a little worse gas mileage.

I was the guy who tried E85 in a bike. WHAT A MISTAKE. Partial is right the bikes acted like the stator went out are the jets fell out of the bike. I'm just glad Partial was there to help get us running again. Sure miss the pit partys you used to have Partial. Them chicken wings were the bomb..
