Diesel provides low numbers on horsepower but gives heaps amount of torque. For example, you look at a Peugeot 407 2.0 diesel they pump out 320N.m of torque... from a 2.0 engine! Many people put diesel for commuting around town as it gives good mileage plus it's cheaper than regular 91

A friend filled his SV Thou with Diesel at Waipu, lucky for him he didn't start the bike.

Thank goodness! Can you imagine how dangerous riding that would've been with that much torque?!

Helpful answers in here for a new rider asking a legitimate question huh. 91 is crap fuel in not only my opinion but from people within the petroleum industry I've spoken to, however it will be fine in your bike. 95 is a better choice however a little more expensive. Either option should be fine, run a few tanks of 91 then 95 and compare the km's you get from each tank.

unbuncheth thine panties.

stupid question gets stupid answer. and since a two second search (for "which petrol") pulls 4 relevant threads on this humble site alone, the jinx "STFW" or "RTFM" come to mind.

no. no. tis not the lack of moderation. tis a lack of internettiquette: you waste the internet's time, expect it to waste yours.

GS1200ss can run on a diesel/petrol mix

E10 or less if ethanol based, 91 RON octane or better says the book.

Edited for simpletons.

95 provides better fuel economy in the 300, but only if you ride conservatively...
