Don't run race gas. The bike was designed to run on 91 octane.

I have one at its bad to the bone.. The stock bars,chain suck bad.. The grip on the throttle side is vulcanized on so its a real treat to get it off..(razor blade and san paper) The gearing is off I went up one tooth to close the gap between 2nd and 3rd.. Getting RG3 to do my susp again and thats it.. The bike has a great motor better than any bike ive owned its the perfect power between too much and too mellow.. Susp will be good once I get it set up. Oh ya its loud.

Honda 450s are the same way, but for good quality, consistant fuel, you can still run a race fuel, just verify with your fuel dealer as to what type is best for the new EFI scoots.

Running pump gas is shakey at best.

VP U4.2 is the only way to go. I run premium pump (93 octane)


4.0 gums up and causes problems with the injectors.

Kawasaki, and Suzuki, vulcanize their grips...It's a good excuse to by an alloy tube.
