What Petrol?
I have managed to use my first full tank of petrol now and i am wondering is it worth filling up with the optimax or the BP special thing, or should i save my money and just put in normal unleaded?

everytime I fill up I have this fear that I've made the mistake. As I'm staring around the forecourt I get that moment of fear! Arrhg!
Look down, ah...green handle. Has anyone tried the funky petrol? did you notice any difference? |

I use Optimax whenever possible, I enjoy the placebo effect. I don't honestly know if it does me any real benefit over most regular unleadeds, but I usually steer clear of Jet garages, I'm sure they sell a lower quality or octane or something, both my bike ran less well with it in the tank.

I use optimax/BP Ultimate/Super unleaded.
Notice a slight difference, but not a huge one. Just use it, becuase i can |

the optimax in my 125cc seemed to make it quicker. but in the CBR6 it doesnt make a difference. just notice a bit of weight reduction - especially around the pocket area's |

Petrol
I always use named brands of petrol and use the lowest octane that my engine does not ping or detonate on.
SV650 = 87 octane VS1400 = 92 octane Those are USA specifications! Cheers |
