Just wanted to see what type of gas you guy's are running. I have some friends that strictly use VP race gas. The manual says 91 though. I don't see any reason to spend $4-5 on race gas if you are getting the same performance on 91...

 

i ride to shell and pump 87....... runs fine
Unless you have high compression or adavanced timing (thinking auto related) you shouldn't need high octane gas....

 

regular always

pro

 

What ever I have.

Normally 93, thats what goes in the truck.

 

What manual are you looking at? Mine says 86 or higher. (03) Unless you're running higher compression or your motor is pinging, high octane gas is a waste of money, and you actually LOSE power. Been tested time and time again on the dyno.

 

Space shuttle fuel.

J/K. I run 93.

 

diesal

 

i have 2002 and my manual says 91 octane or equivalent rating

so i run midgrade, sometimes it's 89, other times it 91...depends on what gas station.

 

i just put a 88cc kit on, and the guy at the bike shop said to run 110 octain or higher :-D i been runnin pump gas but next friday not this friday, im ganna buy myself a big container of it :-D
i cant wait to see how it runs

 

Just bought a 03' today...

The manual said 86 pump rated octane or higher.

I put in VP C12. Smells good!!!

 

well my xr50 runs on beanjuice and rabit droplings

 

i'm running jet fuel mixed with nitro methane 50 50%. works great. i love it. but u gotta get the mix just right of u'll melt it down. trust me i have done it, and it's not fun. later

 

I use what ever is the best at the gas station.And who ever said higher octane doesent run as good as low octane.Then why do all the high performance machines use high octane?It does make a difference y not fill the fiddy up with the best gas at the gas station.Keeps it cleaner and runs better the tank is so small any ways lol.

If you cant afford it then use what ever you can get as long as u can ride!
