i know that a lot of cars have engine problems i know i did will ethinal afeact my bike the same as my car and if so what is the best thing for it is there an aditive i can use
The two I mentioned earlier are the most common ones, and basically only used like every third tankful or so. Always use the MFG's recommended amount, which isn't a lot. Something like a couple capfuls per tank. I'm not sure if they really help with reducing the effects of ethanol or not.
They are readily available at Wal-Mart in my area as well as most auto parts stores. I have used both in the past, but I am currently using Berrymans B-12 because it is less than half the price of Seafoam and performs just as well for me. The instructions suggest 1oz per gallon of gas, but I generally use 1oz per tank of gas. Mostly to cut down on the amount of harsh chemicals in the system.
I rode through South Dakota last year and found my mileage was terrific. On my way back to Minnesota a SD native told me that folks along the border fuel up in South Dakota because their gas is ethanol-free.
