I know of no ethanol made from Waste! it's made from crops that contain sugar ,usually corn or sugarcane. gas (not gasoline)  produced from waste is methane ,similar to propane.

Oh my God you guys are acting like these are Big fuel guzzling bikes that get bad gas mileage it don't matter what it cost for fuel put the gas in and ride it and have fun. I'll dyno on my motor on E85 and pump gas when I get it together and hopefully post the results E85 is nice it's available

They ain't food crops the coin cannot be ate until it's processed it still tastes like s*** they do not use edible corn unless there's extra left over from the harvesting my family is a bunch of farmers in southern Minnesota and Iowa

The bottom line is that there is no advantage either ,financial ,environmental or in  performance of E-85 fuel in a normally aspirated motor. To the Savage having a 2.8 gallon gas tank, Ethanol presents an even greater disadvantage in it's lower mileage.

It's is  fun trying new things ,but to me they need to  at least try to improve the bike not degrade it.

If you can advance the timing on this bike on corn it will make more power

If you advance the timing on gas, it will also make more power, what's the point? That corn is better, or that advancing the timing will give you more power?

Knowing that the crop will be sold for ethanol, the corn is a poor quality, not meant to eat product.  Remember that all that land once produced food for us to eat. IMO, the ethanol in gas is the biggest hoax of our lives.  Wish it wasn't so.  Follow the money.

I don't care about what's a hoax and all that mumbo-jumbo stuff I like the fact that it cools the motor and I can make more power but it takes twice as much but yes E85 does work best with Boost or nitrous but you can see gains if you can advance the timing on these motors you can advance it a lot more on corn than you can on pump gas and was corn you don't have to worry about detonation that much when it gets hot because it'll be cool in the motor cuz you're putting in twice as much plus it's a 105 motor octane

I own an  S40, so who gives a rats.

If I wanted to go fast I wouldn't try to do it on a savage!!! There are so many engine designs out there that without stupid ETHANOL it would be easy to blast past our poor little bike.
