Regular or premium fuel?

[Hoagie]

I was told by my dealership to run premium fuel for better performance. Anyone have any thoughts?

 

[SpyderAnn01]

I have always run Premium in my Spyders.

 

[Dudley]

Read the Owners Manual and do what it says.

 

[ARtraveler]

Premium works best for me. That is what I use/used in all my :spyder2:'s

 

[Chupaca]

As it stands...!!

you spent a pretty penny on your ryde you should give it the best. Higher octane, additives regardless of claims of more mpg or performance your difference is about a buck per tankfull...a buck..!! :yikes: go on give her the best...:thumbup:

 

[cuznjohn]

93 and or above,,, no lower for me

 

[GloryRyders]

Another vote for Premium..........91 to 93 octane, whatever is available at the time! :2thumbs:

 

[Commander]

Premium for me, besides that is what is recommended in the manual

 

[Bob Denman]

I also run 93... :thumbup:
However; nobody is going to come to your house and spray paint the windows, shave your dog, break your car's windshield, and start telling nasty rumors about you, if you run 87...
All of the computerized stuff under the Tupperware will be perfectly happy to keep the engine from turning into a pile of molten debris...


...They just run better on the Good Stuff!

Premium for me:thumbup:

 

[Bob Denman]

They sort of HAVE to do that...
Like it or not: Kenda and Vee are the only two manufacturers, that make tires "approved for motorcycle use", in the sizes that we need. pps:

I'm pretty sure that some Federal Commission somewhere, would go NUTZ, if they told us to use whatever we wanted!

 

[danlnc]

I try to run non-ethanol gas. Most times that's 93 octane but sometimes it's 89 octane. Both run well. My Om says I can run 87 octane.

 

[Highwayman2013]

91 when available, but not afraid to use 87 when that's all I can get.

 

[Bob Denman]

For a 2012 RS; 87 is fine... :thumbup:
That bike still has the 990 series engine, with the 10.8:1 compression ratio.
The 991 series engines run a 12.2:1 squeeze on the fuel... :thumbup:

I have always run Premium in my :spyder2:...jtpollock

 

[flaggerphil]

Well, BRP and my dealer says premium is best for the bike so that's what I use. Mine does seem to run better that way.

 

[BLUEKNIGHT911]

YOU CAN TRY THIS ALSO

I try to run non-ethanol gas. Most times that's 93 octane but sometimes it's 89 octane. Both run well. My Om says I can run 87 octane.

To combat the ETHYL I use Marine " STARTRON " ( it's less expensive on-line ), and 87 octane my 1330 runs fine .......Mike :thumbup:

 

[robmorg]

I also run 93... :thumbup:
