Is the Unleaded 95 RON the correct fuel for us to use in the UK?
I suspect the Octane Value of Unleaded 95 is slightly higher than what is recommended in the old user manuals.
My US user manual says to use Regular Gasoline which I think was 87 in the US. In the UK we use RON method for octane rating which is approximately 4-5 units higher than the equivalent old US petrol (US 87 = 91 to 92 RON). By retarding my timing slightly the bike seems to run worse whereas the factory setting seems better which I would expect if the Octane value is slightly higher.
Any experience as to what petrol runs best in the UK??
Thank you.
