Sandattic,
Yes alky does requier some maintinance. You have to keep it stored in a dry area(sealed tight), then run a top lube in the alky. Also after running alky if it is going to be a few days before riding agian, its good to "purge" the engine with gas. After you get used to this rutine you don't even thnk about it.
Is alky worth all of this trouble???? sometimes no, but sometimes YES!!!!!!!!!

Bigger,
I was talking to someone this morning about the top lube....is that just an ounce or so of oil or other petro-based lube in 5 gallons of methanol? This makes sure that the rings and cylinder on the top end don't dry out too much from the plant-based fuel? I remember from FSWII that Charlie & BansheeChick's ride had a little bottle of gas that they hung off the handlebars....I assume that was for "purging the system" for storage, or overnight.
Thanks,
NeoSirfir

Yes it doesn't take much. AZSAND has some good stuff that he uses(Icant remember what brand), but it takes a couple cap fulls to a tank.
The little bottle is a great idea, everybody that runs Alky should rig up such a thing, it just needs to hold enough fuel to fill the carb. once your motor starts picking up the gas you will notice alot a black smoke from being so rich.

Why have they told you to stay away from it. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]
I will tell you a simple test to do take buenol and most other mixes take equal amounts of alkahol and equal amounts of what ever lude you choose make a mixture of them blend them in a bowl and wait and see which seperates frist and then remeber which ever lube you choose will seperate the same way in your tank!!! no lube holes in piston [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
on another note alky dose not mix good with any thing (except salt and lime) [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
