I cannot find any solid answer to using E10 fuel either in the handbook or the official Triumph workshop manual for a Rocket 3.
The reason I am asking this question is because our fantastic UK government is threatening to make all fuel supplies to be E10 only, with complete disregard about the destruction they may cause to our machines.
The question is can the rocket 3 run on E10 fuel without any problems? Also looking further to the future I can see them increasing it maybe up to 20% Ethanol as I have read counties like Brazil only have E25 available.
If we are forced to use this stuff will our motorcycling days on these bikes be over?
It's beginning to concern me.
Any thoughts on this from anybody?
 
 
I haven't had any issues w/ mine, but I'm only at 20K miles. Haven't heard of any issues from anyone else either. Maybe some high milers will chime in and let you know if they have, but not to my knowledge.

Does it affect the Rocket 3

I feel while it doesn't hurt the Rocket 3 engine it probably isn't the best thing for it either. I don't worry about it because the fuel does not sit around in the tank for very long. I do use an enzyme additive to help negate the effects just because I figure it is cheap insurance for peace of mind.
