Hi, and welcome to the learners club (which I should be leaving in the next couple of weeks, I just need to scrape together $90) :msn-wink:

If you can get it to run on 91 then save you cash, otherwise it's 96 for you. You could try 98 but that's expensive and I can only think of two petrol stations that have it. I'm taking a punt here but I'm guessing the bike was to get to Uni so just remember to take it safe, it's better to miss a lecture than spend the next couple of months getting compasionate consideration towards you marks.

hey dude, welcome to the site,you will be fine with 91.......

[saiko]

Maybe. My 86 likes high octane, and lead pills in the gas tank.
You'll know if you hear it pinging.

thanks guys.Welcome to KB Ricky. :wavey:

The Honda CBR250R is a nice bike and owning one in no way means that you are a learner...not sure if I got your meaning right there? My first sportsbike was a black '89 Suzuki GSXR250 and boy did I think that was fast until I upgraded to a '92 GSXR750. :Punk:

Enjoy your stay.

I'd say you are all nuts. Poor ricksta, he'll be scared for life. :lol:

Welcome, if you are looking for any advice this is the best place for it. Only been here a short time but everybody has been nothing but helpful. Just try to run away from those with dubious leanings...

Are you out my way??

[ricksta]

Thanks for the warm welcome u guys... i'm not really that new to motorbikes, i used to ride my dad's old suzuki back in indonesia (the one with a kickstart and only had 4 gears! :lol:) but i'm quite new on sports bikes especially the 250. Still having problems in controlling the throttle...

So i'm guessing 91 is okay? thanks for the help.

tristank, i live in Howick and i wasnt sure wether howick is in east or south auckland actually :o so yeah... i live in the same suburb as Gremlin's :)

[MSTRS]

and damn do people check me out on the road
Pssst just quietly, it's not you it's the 'L' plate they are checking out. It's a target, don't you know. Nice little bike, it'll be fine on 91. Enjoy.

Wilkommen to the site :niceone:

Nice bike too :yeah:

Hi there Ricksta, welcome to the forum (from another new member).
I havn't been riding long myself and have recently had a break from it after I broke the bike, but in the two years I was riding managed to cover just under 40k kms. If you can get to the south island I highly recommend arthurs/lewis pass for a bit of fun :niceone:
I tried 91, 96 and 98 in my GSX250 and never noticed any difference, so stuck with the 91 because of the price, and because I was told that it burns cleaner.

The people on here seem to be very nice and have a wealth of information.

Hope all goes well with the bike!

East Auckland, but then again, dealing with couriers, govt, etc they all say something different. I reckon we are on the eastern side of the city so we are east.

I'm actually in Bucklands Beach, but some don't know we exist, so I make it easy. Only 5 min away anyway.

Welcome aboard the site Ricksta. If it works on 91 then use it!

[magnum]

hi and welcome :ride:

[FEINT]

Welcome to the forum.

In my opinion running 91 or 96 doesn't make much of a difference. The difference it makes though is price. I run 91 in my CBR250RR and it runs fine.

In my opinion running 91 or 96 doesn't make much of a difference. The difference it makes though is price.It sure is...I filled up the cage ('96 Mitsi Galant) the other day with 96 and it cost me $75!!! I think I'm really starting to hate cars! :angry2:
