Premium Octane?

[opas ride]

Octane is a measurement of the gasolines resistance to knock or ping also known as pre-ignition. It is not better or higher quality fuel. If your engine does not knock or ping with 87 then you are wasting money running a more expensive higher octane fuel. Nor will using a high octane gas give your bike better mileage. That's because the rating refers to how much energy it takes to ignite the gas, (slower ignition equals less pre-ignition) not directly to how much energy the gas puts out.

As I have said on many earlier posts regarding this issue...using higher octane fuels just cause one thinks there going to make some noticeable difference in mileage or performance, is just like "pissing money down at rat hole" !!!...No need at all unless you like to spend extra $$ on gas for your bike....Regards and ride safe
