I ran 50-50 with 93 octane pump in my 400ex for nearly a year with no problems. It definantly made a power increase but i had to change the needle and the main jumped about from a 170 to a 205 keihin. Also the pilot went up quite a bit also but i forget the exact numbers. I didnt have any problems with it running through the 04-05 450r carb that was installed on the 400ex. Now that i swapped in a 450r engine i havent messed with it at all but i may in the summer. Starting was definantly harder in cold temps when i ran the e85 mix. Hoped i helped some.
