Well, from wad i figure is that, for bikes that are about 10 yrs old or so there is no actual need to pump 98 cos if (i said if) i'm not wrong, 10 yrs ago 98 not out yet......so its quite safe to pump 95 wif no worries .....if u wan performance of course i suggest u carry on wif sg v-power.....

Check your manual online what is the minimum octane required for your bike, bmw r100r pre-95 recommended 90, Honda Integra Type R recommend 98 and above.

 

Actually, what above those bikes before unlead petrol surface? Saw FA plate bike RXK topping up 92 and his (my friend) , and this bike never fails him, he use it everyday, never wash, never service, just top up petrol & 2T oil. That's what i call superbike.

I tried pumping 95 twice. One is Caltex Silver, the other Shell 95. On both occassion, I pumped about 4 litres when my bike is in reserve mode, ~3litres left of 97/98 petrol. Then i noticed each time if my bike hit above 100 degrees, etc in a jam, I can smell a slight burning smell. Happen twice, each with Caltex, and Shell. When I pump M'sia 97 or S'pore 98, no funny smell detected. Why ah?

singapore caltex better...

i am also keen to hear the effects of lower RONS (95 or lower) on class 2 performance bike...

 

personally tried twice, observations are:

 

1. more bike vibration at low RPM

2. lower power and engine less responsive (cwhen compared at the same RPM).

if i pumped in SG, i'll go for Esso 95. yes i do experience less power actually (dunno if it's a mental thinggie), but to be honest i felt the engine running smoother after a while. maybe because mine is old model tt's why runs better on 95? carb model R6.

so you guys still pump the same brand/octane between 2004(first post) till now? or have already downgraded?

 

i from v.power downgrade to 98 then downgrade to 95.

 

sometimes see the price hike, feel like downgrading to 92, since my bike manual says 91 and above can liao.

[RAO]

ESSO / MOBILE Synergy 8000 for me! =) I haven't tried V-Power yet. But i have friends saying its not much of a difference?

 

Also with my syg 8000 I add some Octane Booster. I like............

[chlee05]

M'sia V POWDER is RON97.... Sg one is RON98.... octane difference by 1...

 

If I am not wrong JB RON97 is not the same as SG RON98, different countries have different ratings. In some country V power is RON100, in others its RON96.

[DaN zI]

If in SG i pump esso 98 lor . if in jb Mostly mobil F1 , or vpower nia.

[Metal Gear]

Used to go with Shell 98 but changed to Shell 95 now. V Power is just 98 with some "cleaning agents" but I'll pump this once in a while (every 3 months or so).

[adamant1988]

shell 98..haha!hmm jus dunno why leh,when i pump 95 and caltex 98..my bike jus feel kinda weird..

[Figila]

caltex platinum!
