swooshdave Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Rule of thumb is to use the highest octane you can procure/afford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tilertrialler Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 (edited) look in General trials forum ,,,the great how much oil heading there is a poll running on what people are using, but i must say i use super, mine seems to pink on standard. worth reading the 2stroke mix one as well Edited February 19, 2008 by tilertrialler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmck Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Gas Gas recommends 95 octane. Their tech guy says he mixes 20& ~ 30% unleaded race gas to premium unleaded to get the desired octane rating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montman Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 I would say, try it on unleaded and if it runs fine, that is good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie_lejeune Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 unleaded is fine for anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjbiker Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Thanks for plugging the poll Tilertrialler (Clicky here) the more votes the better ! I run my TXT 280 on unleaded without any problems, so save a few pence and go for the cheap stuff. Normal unleaded is 95 ron which the previous post says Gas Gas recommend anyhooz. If you have a keen ear and think you hear a bit of 'pinking' or 'knocking' then try Super unleaded at 98 ron and see (hear) if the noise goes away ?

telecat Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 The UK Sherco and GasGas have stickers that recommend a minimumof 98RON Fuel. As Tesco and Shell have 99RON available I go with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
