86gn Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 The octane ratings in the U.S. are different. I think you need an octane of 91 RON. Here we use a combination of RON and MON octane and 87 is sufficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

black black bird Posted February 28, 2004 Author Share Posted February 28, 2004 Righ t thanx man we have ron 92 98 95 here .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVLXX Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 85, 87, 91 here..... personnally I only run premium, but thats just me. Premium makes a huge difference in my Jeep at this altittude, so I figure it has got to help the bike.... alittle. But that's a whole other arguement... and I don't want to go there now.

blackhawkxx Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 Did any one see the piece in Sport Rider called CUP FEVER: THE SV650 PROJECT? He had a stock motor and dynoed the bike and put higher octane gas in and it dynoed higher. You have to read it to get the full story.
