My owner's manual for my 400 Scrambler states that I shouldn't use gas with alcohol in it because of the two stroke. What does this really hurt? Is it that important to use alcohol free gas? I am asking because it is getting hard to find gas stations around here that don't have at least 10% ethanol blend. The only place I have left now is Casey's. Their 87 octane is alcohol free. Just wondered if it is going to hurt it to run other gas. Thanks in advance for your responses.

 

It won't hurt. It's just beneficial to use the non-oxygenated fuels. Might notice some slightly better performance.
