    Harley-Davidson V-Rod fuel choice?

    Just a quick question, but what fuel would a 2003 vrsca Vrod take? I am assuming 95 and will run that until I find out otherwise.

    Anything else to be look out for and/or be wary of?

    My 09 VRSCF runs on BP 98 Ultra wherever possible

    Run the cheapest fuel that doesn't ping or knock under load.

    Doesn't happen with NZ fuel. Even running the lowest octane.

    For the few extra cents I prefer to use 98. Theoretically runs cleaner.

    Diesel. Technically Harleys are tractors, no?


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    A tractor designed by Porsche in this instance though.

    Yes, because Porsche used to make tractors!
