    Yamaha TTR600 fuel

    Any riders on these TTR600s noticed any real performance difference between the diff octane ratings? I,m using 98 but suspect I,m throwing my money away on this octane fuel?

    I had one years ago as an adventure bike. Never put anything other than 91 in it. Ran fine. Biggest hassle with that bike was the tiny tank, fixed with a 20l acerbis job. And the fact that if you took the choke off too soon and it stalled you would be swearing at it for twenty minutes.

    I had an early 80s XT550 witch I always used the highest octane fuel available, it was noticeably harder to wheelie when using 91.

    Sounds about right. I think mine was 110 to reserve and 140 to pushing it to the nearest servo.
    I was commuting it so filling up twice a week became a hassle. The big tank helped heaps.
