Don't Suzuki recommend 95 for the 'Busa?

Yep, I reckon I'd have a bugger of a job tuning the sem fiddy to run on Jet A-1

my tank is empty at the moment - it's been running around 15km/l on 91 so i'll fill it with 95 and see what i get.

Be careful of detonation running the 'Busa on 91, Marty

kiss my
most bikes should run on 91 without any probs.as long as the bike has'nt got a super high compresion ratio it should'nt ping and carry on.i know of a few people who run 91 in late model sport bikes.

An FJR1300 runs on 91 octane. Its next fill will cost NZ$1.20 a litre.

So when you fill up on 91 you will save about $1.20, what a huge difference.

Fair enough... they will run on it, BUT, I'm of the opinion if a manufacturer recommends 95, it's probably best to use it

Get an NZ new Ducati Monster 600. They run on 91 and are not a sportsbike.
And stop shouting.
