I've run E10 in a 1971 Honda CB350 without changing any carb settings. When it comes to storage, I just drain the fuel out and put it in my car or truck, then add new fuel. My 89 Suzuki GS500 E has run E10 only, without carb problems (after cleaning-no parts) or any jet changes. It runs fine and started up fine after sitting for 2 months. It's about time to drain the fuel in that bike.

In cars with modern vapor sealed fuel systems, E10 can go much longer without problems. My Altima Coupe sat for 11 months when it was totalled before it ran again. No problems with the original battery which still had a small charge, or with the almost year old gas. Modern vapor recovery systems do not allow significant amounts of moisture to be exposed to the fuel.
