I've never ran it in a atv. But i used to run it in my race car. we raced 2-3 nights a week at the end of the night. we would shut the fuel off at the tank and run the car until it ran out of fuel to empty out the lines. and every week we changed the oil never had any problem with any orings, seals, valve guides nothing. just make sure you buy good alky with a top end lube in it

Also make sure the alky has the top end lube pre mixed in from whoever made the fuel. alot of dealers around here bought cheap alky then just poured a bottle of top end lube into the drum of fuel. it dosen't stay mixed up very well doing it that way. also remember that if you used 10 gallon of gas riding a weekend you'll burn about 20 gallon a weekend of alky. have fun with it. you'll love the extra power and how much cooler your DS will run
