Ok Atom, you didn't mention the tank "dot" in your opening statement, that's a fairly big omission, so now I'm even more curious.
I hear what you say about MV being arrogant towards USA (it's not them only) customers by selling the bikes without a warning, and I clearly remember someone posting a picture of his bike having a sticker on the tank where it's advised to not use Ethanol fuel, it might have been in a manual too, but that's besides the point.
I am glad they are supplying new tanks though.
Now just because I'm terrible curious and always very pro-active around my bikes, cars and woman, but if you knew the fuel in the USA might be a problem for your tank, and not even mentioning other parts of the fuel system, why have you not tried taking steps to prevent this, maybe using fuel stabilisers or leaving less fuel in the bike etc.
I know of a few guys who get the non Ethanol fuel delivered to their houses in a big bad drum, so only occasionally have to top up with E10 etc.
It amazes me at how many guys come on here, and other forums I peak into, and are totally amazed to find out that their Countries are switching to this shit (UK members are terrible for this), and the affects in can have on your motor vehicles, are people really that un-informed and ignorant, or is it also just arrogance. :ahhh:
I imagine my poor fellow Aussies (some at least) will take another 5 years to realise what shit they've been putting into their vehicles and then start blaming the manufacturers, probably be the same people who agreed for the stuff to be used in the 1st place.
Please don't think of me being pissy, this stuff really get's me angry and I'm always very curious about possible solutions rather than just complaining.
