I got the 05 600rr. It says to use 86 octane gas or higher, which means I could use regular (87). Is that what most of you use or do you guys throw higher octane shit in there like 89, 91, 93? Im going to keep using premium (93) for the first few hundred miles while I'm breaking it in. Should I keep it up after or is 87 actually ok?

I have a little over 2000 miles on my 05 and I always run 93 octane. I read the same thing in my owner’s manual and my first free tank from Honda was low octane. I could hear pecking from the engine with just a few miles that went away with my first high octane fill up. The least bit of deposits quickly deteriorate our engine and performance.

I will only run 91 +... I will seriously pay the extra 40 cents to fill up a 4 gallon tank... its worth it..
^he is right... low octane is POOP.

I wouldnt waste your money. If the manual states 86 or higher, why would you pay extra for the high grade stuff.

Cause it doesnt burn as clean and doesnt have the protective additives that supreme has. supreme helps keep the engine running clean. its not like there just charging you for extra octane. theres more to it then just a higher octane rating. while low grade will fuel your engine. in most cases it makes new bikes run a little rough.

I'm with EVERY one else!!! Here in Ks, the highest you can get is 91, they quit carrying the 93, but any ways, EVERY tech that I have ever talked to has ALWAYS recommended it because of it's CLEARITY, and PERFORMANCE! Yes, you can run 86-7, but, why would you want to risk dirtying up that badass BRAND new engine?!

Pretty much everyone in Iowa only has 91 too. There is one station that has 93. Some places are selling 90 as premium and chargining $.40 more a gallon when 89 is cheaper. We have 89 with ethonal in it. I have heard a lot of people say it isn't good for engines. I try to use 91 for that reason too.

We must be lucky..... 93 octane is our norm on the east coast. The higher octane, in my opinion burns cleaner causing the engine to perform at optimal levels.... thus giving us better gas mileage. I had a mechanic friend point this out to me. I ran 87 in my car for 3 tanks and averaged the gas mileage. Then I did the same with 93. I know it's difficult to be accurate because it depends on how you drive, but I did get better gas mileage (20 miles on a ten gallon tank) when I ran 93 octane. So are you really saving money by using the "cheap gas"?

Run 86 in your tank all you want, in fact, use any car oil for oil changes too... why WASTE your money right?
My stunter friends run 87 and use 97 cent wal mart oil... and they still got running bikes... but Ill stick with my Silkolene or R4 at like 7-10$ a Qt, and my 30$ plugs, and my 3.00$ gas now... In fact, while your at it, why waste your money? SELL YOUR BIKE AND GET A SCOOTER...
???WHY WASTE YOUR MONEY??? gets you to where your goin, VERY GOOD GAS MILEAGE ON 86, CHICS LOVE EM, YOU CAN CARRY DRINKS, AND NEVER GET A TICKET, AND YOU HAVE A TRUNK!!!, AND ARE STILL ON 2 WHEELS.... :D Putt Putt

I always run 94 unless I can't find a sunoco and have to run 93.(advantages of the east cost) 87-89 has a higher lead content and affects performance and engine longevity. While your bike will run on 87 if you plan on having it for a while better to run the higher octane as it's better for your engine, especially if you're warping around the state. and if your are skimping on basically $1 for gas maybe you shouldn't own such a high performance bike, just IMO.

My bike has never been subjected to anything other than 93. And neither have either of my cars ('95 Talon TSi AWD and '05 Chevy Cobalt SS Supercharged)
