Well at least the bike looks cool {BMW 1200}
I'd be interested to know if the fuel injected bikes out there are recommended to use 95 in their handbooks or is it again just one of those things we are told to do by the seller.

Can't comment on yamaha, kawasaki or honda (or the non-japs ) but the suzuki 600 750 1000 all have stickers on the tank, stating specifically, nothing less than 95RON.

Call me ignorant, but when I asked what my bike would prefer, I was told 95/96, so thats what I do. There are risks (already mentioned) not meeting what a bike needs, and I for one would rather be a little poor, than know for a fact the bike doesn't like 91....

what ya gonna spend the green rep on boyo?.. Spank doing a deal on KB clothes for Greenies or something ?

Wrong, higher revs require a slower, cooler burning fuel......... and of course the timing curve to complete the equation .....

It is an Octane, timing, compression ratio issue, then throw in port height and width for a 2 smoker....... oh yeah also plug temp rating once you start getting deeper in to it.

It is a common misconcetption that higher octane equal hotter faster burn.....

Just had a few years building, running 300 + horse power super stock jet skis......

The other issue is that you may not achieve the manufactures specified performace figures if you use fuel other than what is specified by the said manufacturer.


Cheers

My bike seems to run much nicer at 18,000rpm on 91 than 96 or 95. (Recomended minimum octane)

my manual says a minimum of 87 R+M, so i suppose that means minimum 91 over here as my bike is set for miles per and gallons etc.
Been an interesting discussion thanks to all who have helped.
