Yep, if you have a carburetted machine I think it will need some fettling to run correctly.
Injector seals will be a prime candidate for rotting, and you would probably be best drain the tank if you are laying the bike up for a set period of time.
That said avgas is still readily available

If you google E10 compatibility motorcycles, you'll find some guidance around which pre 2010 bikes can run on E10.
Failing that your main UK manufacturer should be able to advise.
Some of the bike specific forums have done their checks for you.

All my bikes have carburettors. I'm not fussy, I usually drain or run the fuel out if I'm not going to use it for a while.
I put a lead additive in the Bonnie but the Transalp seems to run on anything. |
