More Research Is Needed Now
By Wayne Allard
When’s the last time you really thought about the quality of the fuel you put into your motorcycle’s gas tank? Well, unfortunately, it may be time to start. Let me explain. The American Motorcyclist Association has been standing up against unfair laws and rules that threaten motorcyclists since our founding in 1924.
Now, thanks to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, there’s a new threat facing motorcyclists, and it involves a certain kind of fuel.
The EPA is allowing a higher concentration of ethanol in gasoline. Called E15, the new fuel is potentially dangerous to motorcycles, especially those with air-cooled engines.
E15 is a fuel blend of 15 percent ethanol and 85 percent gasoline that the EPA has approved for use in 2001-and-newer passenger vehicles. However, the blend isn’t approved for use in any motorcycle, all-terrain vehicle, boat, lawn mower or other small engine, and may even damage them and void warranties.
Currently, E10 is commonly found at gas stations and contains 10 percent ethanol. (E0 fuel has no ethanol.) Ethanol is grain alcohol produced from crops such as corn that is mixed with gasoline to produce an ethanol-gasoline blend motor fuel.
The problem with the new E15 fuel is that it hasn’t been tested to be safe in motorcycles. The EPA is allowing it in the marketplace without that testing, and is merely telling motorcyclists not to use it.
But the solution is not that simple.
The AMA has repeatedly expressed concerns to government officials and federal lawmakers about possible damage to motorcycle engines caused by the
inadvertent use of E15 when the new fuel becomes widely available. That could easily happen if a motorcyclist accidentally selects E15 fuel, thinking it was E10 or E0.
We have also asked that motorcycles be part of any scientific study into the effects of E15 on engines to ensure that the new fuel blend won’t damage motorcycles.
Earlier this year I even testified before a U.S. House subcommittee about possible damage to motorcycle engines.
The U.S. House Subcommittee on the Environment held a hearing on “MidLevel Ethanol Blends: Consumer and Technical Research Needs.” I testified that E15 could lower fuel efficiency and possibly cause premature engine failure for motorcycles and ATVs. I also reiterated that motorcycles and ATVs should be part of an independent scientific study into the effects of E15 on engines.
U.S. Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.) has introduced a bill, H.R. 875, to require the EPA to stop the use of E15 fuel until it has been studied more, which would be great news for motorcyclists if the bill becomes law.
The measure would repeal the EPA’s waiver decision approving the use of E15 and would bar the agency from granting further decisions on the use of the fuel until the EPA obtains an independent scientific analysis of the effects of the E15 blend.
Sensenbrenner has said there have been several tests highlighting E15’s harmful effects on engines but they have all been dismissed by the EPA.
Because of that, he believes “we must force the EPA to stop the use of E15 fuel until the serious safety, durability, performance and environmental concerns have been addressed.”
Sensenbrenner says that federal lawmakers have a responsibility “to ensure that Americans using gas-powered machinery—whether it be cars and boats
or chainsaws and lawnmowers—are not put at risk due to faulty fuel that has not been adequately vetted.”
Meanwhile, U.S. Sens. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) and David Vitter (R-La.) have introduced legislation to block an increase in the amount of ethanol that can be blended with gasoline. The bill would overturn the EPA waivers that allow E15 to be used in many passenger cars and light trucks.
The senators said the higher blend of ethanol has been found to cause engine damage, reduce fuel efficiency and contribute to higher corn prices and rising food costs for American consumers.
The Wicker-Vitter bill would prohibit the EPA administrator from granting any waiver for a blend above 10 percent ethanol and would repeal the previous waivers.
Vitter has said: “Whether you drive a car, truck, boat, or tractor, misfueling with E15 could result in engine failure, increased emissions, and the voiding of warranty coverage. It is irresponsible for EPA to allow E15 without sufficient testing and technical analysis. I support an all-inclusive energy strategy, but experimenting before understanding the consequences and potential cost of using E15 is unfair to consumers.”
With the help of motorcyclists like you, the AMA has been fighting to be sure motorcyclists’ voices are heard in this E15 controversy. But we can’t do it alone.
Fighting for your rights on E15 is just one of the ways that the AMA works for all motorcyclists, and it’s just one of the reasons why you should ask every motorcyclist you know to become an AMA member.
It’s easy. Just tell them to call (800) AMA-JOIN (262-5646) or go to www.americanmotorcyclist.com.

Motorcyclists are a diverse breed. Some like dirt. Others dig asphalt. There are those who obsess over competition, while others compete only with themselves. Some like speed. Others prefer finesse. Many gravitate toward groups. Some ride alone.
One trait that binds most of us, however, is the thirst for exploring, a craving for discovering the unknown. Whether the mystery is a vista over the horizon or what twisties might snake through the next valley, we just can’t stop until we experience it for ourselves—and then we keep riding to the next one.
This yearning for adventure is the fuel that powers two like-minded AMAsanctioned series that have grown steadily in recent years, regardless of the economic malaise that has tempered other recreational pastimes of late.
The AMA Yamaha Super Ténéré National Adventure Riding Series and the AMA Husqvarna National Dual Sport Series feature dozens of rides from Florida to Oregon, covering thousands of miles of backroads and trails that showcase America’s best.
The AMA created the national dual-sport series in 1987 to highlight this amazing way to use a motorcycle. Since then, off-road and street riders alike have turned to dualsport recreation to experience the freedom of two wheels. The 2013 schedule for the AMA Husqvarna National Dual-Sport Series is one of the largest in history, featuring 25 events. The dual-sport series features challenging trail, much of it rivaling an enduro in technical difficulty. Of course, without the extra pressure of competition— dual-sport rides are not races—the offcamber rocky turns and log crosses are a lot less intimidating.
In recent years, recognizing a growing affinity for large-bore adventure bikes— what the Brits call “big trailies”—the AMA and our promoting partners formed the AMA Yamaha Super Ténéré National Adventure Riding Series. This series boasts 19 events for 2013. National adventure rides are laid out for these larger, more street-oriented motorcycles. They offer incredible rides in some of the most scenic areas in the country. Most include more difficult sections designed to test riders, but those sections are optional.
Both series stay true to the “High Adventure, No Hassles” philosophy. The idea is to provide plenty of thrills without the logistical headaches that come from learning, mapping and planning a ride through America’s backcountry—not to mention one that includes the company of like-minded enthusiasts and a full weekend of riding, eating, camping and camaraderie.
Over the next few pages, you will find more information about dual-sport and adventure riding to get you started in one of motorcycling’s fastest growing categories. Ready to ride? Great! For the full schedules of both series, see page 55.
One of the longest rides in the AMA Yamaha Super Ténéré National Adventure Riding Series, depending on the route taken, the Sept. 6-9 Autumn Hot Springs Adventure Tour winds for more than 800-1,000 miles through the Sawatch, Mosquito, San Juan and Sangre De Cristo mountain ranges.
The ride is put on by Sean Barr and Michael Brown of Exit Tours M/C (www.coloradodualsport.com) in Salida, Colo., and has a 45-rider capacity for 2013. We caught up with Barr, whose day job is at Mountain Tech Yamaha/Beta in Buena Vista, Colo., to learn more about what riders can expect.
American Motorcyclist: What makes this ride special?
Sean Barr: Well, one is the length. This is a long ride. Plus, because of the length, we can cross a large number of mountain passes. The route we’ll follow crosses the

Continental Divide eight times and covers 16 different mountain passes. Three of those passes are higher than 12,000 feet, and seven passes are more than 11,000 feet. Three of these paved passes are the highest paved passes in Colorado, and Independence Pass is the second highest continuous paved pass in the United States. That’s a lot of elevation [gain], and is probably what riders will remember most about the experience.
AM: How are the views?
Barr: We go by several 14,000-foot peaks. We start and end in Chaffee County, Colo. Chaffee County has more “14’ers” than any other county in the United States. That makes it pretty easy to find a good visual backdrop for the ride. We go by Mt. Massive twice. It is spectacular. We’ll also cross Cottonwood Pass, the second highest improved pass in Colorado.
AM: You mentioned that some roads
“Getting off the beaten path!”—Mike Bobbitt
are paved. How many are dirt, and what are the conditions?
Barr: For the most part, these passes are historic mining and stage[coach] roads, and railroad grades. They were used to move gold, silver, and other minerals. They also were used by people moving and delivering supplies from the mining towns. The routes wind with the Arkansas, Rio Grande and Colorado rivers. We’re not looking to beat anyone up. The idea is to have fun. Yes, there will be dirt and gravel roads, but we’re not doing single-track or anything like that. If you can ride on gravel, you can handle this ride. In any case, half the route is made up of fun, twisty pavement, so there’s something for everyone.
We’ll try to make fuel stops every

“The ability to ride all but the gnarliest single-track trails while carrying all of my camping gear while riding across the country without needing a four-wheeled vehicle to support me.”—Graham Nagi
“Not having to truck the bike to the trail. I leave the house and go wherever the moment takes me, whether 50 miles or 250 miles.”—Donald Butler
“The adventure and the ability to ride anywhere and everywhere!” —Chris White
80 miles or so. A 100-mile range is recommended.
AM: Walk us through the ride.
Barr: Well, it’s basically ride, stop, eat, rest, repeat. Each night there is a relaxing stop and stay at a hot springs pool.
The first day leaves Cottonwood Hot Springs and follows the Arkansas River north toward Leadville. The passes we’ll cross include Weston, Hoosier, Boreas, Kenoshia, Guanella, Loveland and Ute. We’ll then follow the Colorado River to Glenwood.
On the second day, we’ll leave Glenwood and do the three highest passes: Independence, Cottonwood and Cumberland. Next, we’ll continue on over Wuanita, Black Sage, Old Monarch,
Monarch, Cochetopa and Carnero passes to the Sand Dunes hot springs pool.
On Monday, riders can continue back to Buena Vista the short way or the long way. The long way will take us down to Phantom Canyon near Cripple Creek and then take you to Buena Vista.
Tbest parts of this ride aren’t just the scenery, but the history. We’ll follow the same routes that the settlers and miners used. Don’t expect any lectures, though. We’re out there to enjoy our motorcycles, but if we pick up some interesting facts along the way, that’s fine, too.
AM: What about the weather? Any snow on the ground in September?
Barr: We definitely expect it to be clear. September is one of the nicest times of the year in Colorado. Trees are starting to change color. We should see some
afternoon rains, which typically moistens the dirt to the point of perfect traction. You can expect daytime temperatures in the high 70s to low 80s. Nights will usually drop to 40-50 degrees or so.
AM: What’s the cost, and what is included?
Barr: The entry fee is $600, and the ride is open to any AMA member with an adventure-style motorcycle. That fee includes three nights of lodging at the Cottonwood Hot Springs Resort, Glenwood Hot Springs Lodge and the Inn of the Rio Grand.
There will be GPS tracks provided, luggage portage, support riders, a chase truck, three breakfasts, a hoodie, a welcome dinner and hot spring passes. Passengers ride and stay free. You can sign up at www.coloradodualsport.com.
Sean Barr of Exit Tours M/C offers these tips for adventure riders:
Setup: There are a lot of rocks in Colorado, so DOTapproved dual-sport tires are recommended. Because of the elevation change, check your tire pressure where we stage. You’ll want to run it a little higher than normal. This will help prevent pinch flats. With fuel injection so prevalent these days, most bikes can handle the altitude change just fine, but if you do ride a carbureted bike, contact us through www.coloradodualsport.com and we’ll give you some advice.
Safety: We use the buddy system. Simply put, the buddy system can save your life. Although we do our best to keep track of everyone, it is possible to get yourself lost on this or any ride. If you are alone and get hurt, you may not be missed until the end of the day. We insist that riders use the buddy system.
Basically, two or three riders watch each others’ backs the whole ride, and you never, ever leave your buddy. Don’t lose sight of your buddy for more than a turn or two. Don’t make a major turn without making sure your buddy will also—simply seeing your buddy behind you is not good enough. Your buddy might not see you. Wait until you make eye contact or, better yet, you actually see him make the turn. If you get separated, go back to the last place you saw each other.
Maintenance: First of all, these rides always include a large number of friendly, highly experienced riders who are more than willing to lend a hand, but one of the most important tips is to be able to work on your own bike. You should be able to perform basic maintenance, and ideally change your own tires.
Fun: The good thing about fun is it just happens. Bring a good attitude. Plus, we strongly encourage everyone to bring a friend. Not only does this give you a built-in buddy for the ride, but rides are always more fun if you can bench race about them later.
Each time you participate in an AMA Husqvarna National Dual Sport or AMA Yamaha Super Ténéré National Adventure Ride, you earn a chance to win a new motorcycle.
Dual-sport series riders get a chance to win a Husqvarna TE, while adventure series riders get a chance to win a Yamaha Super Ténéré.
Each bike is perfect for its intended purpose, whether that’s blasting down singletrack trail or crossing a 14,000-foot mountain pass.
The best part? Enter all you like. Even if you don’t win, each ride will be a memory you’ll never forget.
Husqvarna TE Lineup: Street Legal Race Bikes
When it comes to motorcycles, “compromise” is a dirty word. We want to ride machines built for performance, not concession.
And Husqvarna’s TE line of dual-sport bikes is all about off-road performance. The bikes are built to the same standards as off-road competition models, and then the bare minimum of equipment—horn, turn signals, etc.—is added to pass muster with federal regulators.
Some of our 50,000 (and growing) Facebook fans sound off on why they enjoy dual-sport and adventure riding…
“The scenery and the challenge of the places we go riding. I really enjoy organized adventure rides and have a blast competing in road enduros in Ohio.”
—Sam Phillips
“While the sportbikes and sport tourers are fighting traffic on our scenic highways, I am unencumbered, riding free through all that nature has to offer.”—David Grey “Freedom!”—Aaron Mosser
These are not casual trailbikes. The TEs feature topshelf Brembo brakes, a hydraulic clutch, Keihin electronic fuel injection, Excel rims, sport-tuned suspension and aggressive ergonomics.
Don’t be mistaken, though. The factory bikes are 50-state legal, which means they can be legally ridden on any public road in America. (And they’re quiet, which means not too many people will notice you riding them on any public road in America—also a good thing!)

Top 10 Features
As part of Yamaha’s sponsorship of the adventure riding series, riders who participate in the series (that’s you) get a chance to win a Super Ténéré. Never heard of it? Here are the top-10 coolest things about the bike, and why you’ll want one:
No. 10: Compact 1,199cc parallel twin sports a 270-degree crank and kicks out ample and predictable traction.
No. 9: Big intimidating looks that scare less worthy road users out of the way!
No. 8: Fuel injection and fly-by-wire technology makes programming performance tweaks a snap.
No. 7: Six-gallon tank is guaranteed to need fill ups less often than you do.
No. 6: Wide-ratio, six-speed tranny is as versatile as six speeds get.
No. 5: The 2013 model comes in white and red. Fans of 1980s Yamaha motocross star and AMA Motorcycle Hall of Famer Broc Glover rejoice!
No. 4: Adjustable windshield, seat height and suspension mean it never met a rider it couldn’t accommodate.
No. 3: Traction control when you want it, no traction control when you don’t.
No. 2: The Yamaha R1-style turn signals make it instantly faster.
No. 1: Never met a dirt road it didn’t like.
Some rides are like wine. They get better with age.
That’s the case with one of the best rides on the AMA Husqvarna National Dual Sport Series calendar: the Baby Burr. The dualsport is celebrating its 25th anniversary this Oct. 12-13 in McArthur, Ohio.
The Baby Burr is produced and promoted by the Enduro Riders Association, a longtime AMA-chartered club. The ride channels the spirit of the historic Little Burr Enduro that in 1958 was the AMA’s first 250-mile National Enduro. (This was when enduro champions were crowned at singular events and before the advent, four years later, of the stillrunning AMA Grand National Enduro Championship Series.)
All the history of that event is alive and
well today in the Baby Burr—a favorite among dual-sport riders and local enduro racers.
And there’s good reason for that.
The Baby Burr represents southern Ohio dual-sport perfection, with flowing routes, challenging terrain, ample mileage and friendly atmosphere. It’s downright awesome to ride trail that isn’t beat up and to see what surprises the club has dug out of its bag of tricks each year.
Even better, if atmosphere matters to you, most years the Baby Burr falls at the start of fall-color season. The leaves are just starting to change, creating surreal multi-hued backdrops, but the temperatures are still comfortable enough to ride without a jacket.
Another plus about the Baby Burr is
Some of our 50,000 (and growing) Facebook fans sound off on why they enjoy dual-sport and adventure riding…
“Driving down the highway and seeing the side ‘road,’ thinking, ‘Hmmmm, I wonder where that goes?’ and then finding out!”—
Jeromy Williamson
like many other dual-sport rides, it shares trail with the club’s competition events. (The Little Burr is still alive and well.) This means riders can expect miles of tough trail—all optional, of course.
“They aren’t extremely hard, but we might have some places that might be a problem for a small percentage of the riders,” says Enduro Riders Association
President Steve Barber. “We get a wide range of skill levels at these events and want everyone to have a good event.”
For riders who need a break, Barber says bypasses are available for the tougher sections.
“Some riders may not want to enter a section if they are not sure of their skill level,” he says. “I tried to label the enduro loops with brief descriptions of the possible trouble spots. If it’s not labeled, then it’s just several miles of good trail, but if someone is getting tired they may want to skip it.”
Not that you’d ever want to skip it!
The other great thing about AMAsanctioned dual-sport rides? You never ride alone. Sooner or later, and probably sooner, some 17-year-old kid will show up who can ride your bike up that rootinfested hill.
Although it’s one of the oldest, the Baby Burr isn’t the only ride of its kind in the AMA Husqvarna National Dual-Sport Series.
This month will see the second ride in the series—the Hanging Rock 200 in Zaleski, Ohio (www.kaeppnerswoods. com)—before things heat up in a very big way in June.
From June 1-2 through June 29-30, the series will feature seven national dual sports in Pennsylvania, Missouri, Michigan, Oregon, Wisconsin, California and Indiana. And that’s just getting started…
There are three more in July, four in August, five in September, three in October and two in November.
