Gas prices for this bike isn%26#039;t a big deal to me.|||I would normally agree with mad jack, except for the fact that we have a 2008 ninja 250r and it specifically states 87 in the manual.
Doesnt always exactly depend on the compression ratio of the engine. My CBR600RR takes 87, while my Miata takes 93. Go figure.|||This engine has a compression ratio of 11.6:1. This would be considered a high compression engine. You should be using 92 octane.
A little bit of information about octane. Octane really has nothing to do with the quality of the fuel. The octane rating is the amount of compression the fuel can withstand before it will spontaneously combust. The higher the octane, the more compression it can withstand.
Using low octane fuel in a high compression engine can cause detonation. Detonation is a condition when the fuel air mixture ignites from the engine compression before the spark plug fires. Detonation can cause severe internal engine damage. This damage is usually burned pistons and valves.
These bikes get decent fuel mileage. The little extra that it will cost to use 92 octane fuel in this bike will be worth your while.|||Check the owner%26#039;s manual. Or listen to the bike. If you get pinging on acceleration, go up one grade.|||check the technical features of the vehicle|||i use the 89 on my bikes and occasionally will fill with 91 - 93 the same with my cars|||87 is regular and just fine.|||Here%26#039;s a thought
READ THE MANUAL|||anything over 89 and you%26#039;re throwing money away, depending on your altitude...
