Now the UK has gone to E10 petrol i note that piaggio say not suitable for pre 2010 bikes.So my question is as i have a 2008 fuoco/mp3 what did piaggio change after 2010 to make them E10 suitable. Did they change anything or just covering there backside. I'm not interested in the pro's and con's. I'm using E10 as our only local fuel station doe's not have E5 .

nope all my customers use 95 e10 that ride a mp3 my quadro customers use 98 because of the shitty euro5 carbon gasoline vapor filter that goes quicker bad due to the e10, but 98 got 5% ethanol so the filter will last longer aprox 20.000km
Got 2 seals of the injector that where broken but it cannot say it was because of the E10 it look more like some pressed the injector in at a angle |
