Which generation of motorcycles can use E10 gasoline?

After E10 gasoline was made available nationwide from April 30, 2026, many car and motorbike users expressed concerns about whether their vehicles could use E10, and if so, what impact this type of gasoline would have on vehicle components.

According to experts, most newer cars from the last 10 years or so have instructions to use E10 gasoline without significantly affecting the quality and performance of the vehicle.

Some imported motorcycle models such as the Honda SH 125i/150i imported from Italy, or models like the Honda Dash, Honda Vario 125/160, Yamaha 135LC imported from Malaysia, and some imported motorcycles from Japan such as the Honda Super Cub 50, Super Cub 110, all meet high emission standards (Euro 4, Euro 5 or Euro 5+)... and can use E10 gasoline without worrying about affecting the components in the fuel system.

However, regulations vary depending on the vehicle, so owners should carefully review the owner's manual. All manufacturers clearly state the types of fuel that can be used in the vehicle and provide notes to ensure quality.

The user manual may be in hardcover or digital format; users can find it on the official website.

Some older motorcycle models manufactured before 2010 are advised against using E10 gasoline because the ethanol in E10 is hygroscopic and highly corrosive, potentially damaging older materials such as rubber, plastic, or metal in the fuel system.

E10 gasoline is a type of biofuel containing 10% ethanol (bioethanol) and 90% regular mineral gasoline. The name E10 means that the letter E stands for Ethanol, and 10 represents the percentage of ethanol blended into the gasoline.
