Oh shitttt... use the 95?? Thats very very hard to come by around here. Only specific gas stations have the 95. Will it be ok using the 93? The bike idles good, starts great, and is very very fast for what it is. But if I can gain more by using the 95, I'll go on the hunt for it and use that.

I'm using dino oil right now for the break-in (my 2 gallon gas tank is being used for break in). After I use up this oil and gas I'm going to use synthetic. Prolly gonna go with a 30:1 mixture.

Dude.. GET THE 95..!!! Get a 10 litre jerry can.. Find a Servo... Get the fuel every couple of weeks or wateva..
Get there phone number while your there, so you can call them to make sure they have it before you go each time... Wateva it takes ...
& yeah, thats good wat your doin with the oil...

The octane rating of fuel is only when it's initially made... When servo's fuel is tested, the octane rating of 98 fuel only has to be about 95 octane when its pumped into the car.. You can ask for Every Servo's Octane Rating Test Sheet when you are there... They should have it hanging on the wall in public view.. But all srvos get tested frequently & the Info is always available..!!

Ouch ok I didn't realize it needed 95 octane or higher that bad. Thanks for the input man. I'll try spotting out another gas station with higher octane

You always should use the BEST pump gas you can get. If you can get 98 octane fuel (available almost everywhere he is Australia), you should.
Always put the best fuel in your bike, otherwise it will poo itself.

So if I put in the 95octane over the 93octane I'm using now, will I see any mileage or performance gains on the bike? Or will it just run better?

seriously dude your not listening to me. ill say it again. higher octane doesnt = more HP.

higher octane allows the fuel to be compressed more without it pre-detonating.

so if you use a fuel that doesnt have enough octane rating then the fuel will explode before the piston gets to the top of the stroke. (simple explanation guys)

racing fuel will give you more HP but its not because it has a higher octane, its because of all the oxygenators and stuff in them.

hopefully you understand abit more about what octane really means now.

Oh I understand what your saying now. So in essence, the bike isn't functioning correctly right now. When I put in the 95octane, it wont run better than stock, but it will be running at stock levels.
