Fuel requirement?

[Tromper]

Wouldn't think so.
I don't ride one of my SYMs much in the winter and it holds up OK, the burgman has no issues and my old S200 didn't either so barring weirdness I suspect you're fine.
The wife's bike that goes down all winter usually gets non-eth.  I start it every week or two and let it run.

I'm at sea level in Key West, USA.
Riding, wrenching & racing bikes for 50 years.
I pretty much determined on my own, from my own seat of the pants testing, and using three different grades of fuel, that regular was OK.
Everything in the US now has ethanol in it, except racing fuel.

This is mostly true, but premium non ethanol is becoming increasingly more common

There was a push for awhile here for non-ethanol gas, because it was destroying marine engines, but it was prohibitively expensive and now they have ethanol stabilizer fuel additives, which are supposed to eliminate the rubber degradation.

Non eth is not sold in Ohio....and of course my owner's manual says not to use ethanol gas.
But there are no scooters blowing up in Ohio according to three dealers I've talked to.

Not sure where you're at cece, but you can check that.

Stig, My bikes aren't blowing up either, but I did have to rebuild the carb on my k8 due to some decay. No issues in the 10k miles since.

I normally run whatever's available, Eth, since the non-eth is either far away from my normal range, hideously expensive, or both.
No idea where they are in relation to you, but Ohio does show a few hits if you get a hankering to see if there's a difference.
Caveat Emptor, Carpe Carp, Semper Fi etc. of course.

I wouldn’t assume that the ethanol would severely damage it short term.
But long term, I try to put it in as little as possible.
