hey guys, quick question, which type of petrol do we all use?
the handbook recommends 95octane?
the previous owner of my bike says he used 91 reason being with the 95 apparently you need to rev it more to clean out the engine but he didn't rev it much so he thought the 91 went better.
so yeh, would just like to get an indication on peoples thoughts of what type of petrol they use.
thanks! (yes i did try the 'search' feature as well... nothing really came up)

Used 95 first week I got mine and fouled 2 sets of plugs.
91 since never had a problem and it rev's hard enough for a 620.

funny that it'd it.
I used 98 first tank I ever put in and it fouled with-in hours.
Then went to 95 and it took a day or so.
Have only used 91 since then.

well we never use 98 at all, only ever 95. don't know if that might have started the problem you had.

I use 91 even though the handbook says 95 or higher. Found the high octain fuel is not liked by my bike. Same as you Matty! Rob |

Really strange how so many different bikes like different kinda juice.
Do you think it has something to do with the Italian made thingy?

07 S4RT with DP ECU & Open Airbox and Open Zards..... 91 Is okay if nothing else available and runs okay. 95 Caltex Vortex preferred and runs great round town and on the open road. 98 Okay on the open road when twisting the grip but splutters a bit round town. So I use 95 petty 95% of the time.... |

I was gonna suggest that maybe the higher octane and riding around town may not be compatible.
As Jukie said we pretty much always use 95 (both 2V, FI bikes) but we avoid traffic .... and anyone that has ridden with me knows that I don't rev too high and that hasn't proved to be a problem.
Maybe its the colour that is the problem?
