What is a flex-fuel motorcycle?
A flex-fuel motorcycle is designed to run on gasoline mixed with varying proportions of ethanol. Yamaha FZ Blue Flex supports fuel blends from E20 (20% ethanol) to E85 (85% ethanol).
Ethanol is considered a cleaner alternative fuel that can help reduce dependence on traditional fossil fuels and reduce vehicle emissions.

With the launch of the FZ Blue Flex Fuel, Yamaha has joined the growing list of manufacturers offering ethanol compatible vehicles in India. Flexible-fuel motorcycles are expected to play an increasingly important role in the country’s transition to greener transportation as the government continues to encourage greater ethanol blending.
