Hi! Our 95 & 98 octane (regular gas in sweden) Will get a new mix of up to 10% ethanol instead of the old mix of up to 5% ethanol next month.
How Will this affect my bike? Currently got a yz250, is it still safe to use as normal or Will i have to change jets and more?

You'll find that the rubber fuel lines harden up faster (if you already haven't had that issue with 5%).
Lots of people in the USA run 10% ethanol through their MX bikes with no major problems.
Being on the Pacific coast here, we have a lot of fuel stations selling ethanol free 92 octane.
I mix that 50/50 with 110 leaded race fuel for my YZ250 and YZ125.
Perhaps there's a marina or something like that near you that can supply pure gasoline?

since E10 is "up to 10%" the 98 could stay the same but its a little unclear.
They are the only pump gas brand I am aware of to have made this claim, most others specifically say theirs DO contain up to or including the allowed 10% depending on brand.
however if it goes under 5% i think they must brand the pumps with E5, thats what got me a little concerned about the 98 where on some places it says E10 on those aswell. might be miss labelled.
