It won't harm your bike. Somewhere in the service manual I believe it says something about not using a gasoline with an ethanol content higher than 10%, but don't quote me on that. The only thing that it might damage, in higher concentrations, would the lining of the rubber gasoline lines and it would break down the gaskets inside the carb. However, a 10% ethanol content isn't going to do that.
Just make sure you never buy E-85. That's an 85% ethanol content.
I've never seen a gas that contains an ethanol content higher than 10% that is not E-85. So you should be safe.

Thanks, exactly what I wanted to know.
I filled up this weekend at Sheetz where they have that "warning" on all the pumps and was thinking, "Geez, I hope someone answered my thread!"
