Title: What octane gas does the zongshen use?
Post by: Marc on July 26, 2008, 10:14:12 PM

I would assume regular unleaded, but i've seen bikes with labels that say "premium only" I'll be getting my bike delivered Tuesday and wanted to get some gas before it gets here so that as soon as it's assembled I can start it right up. Thanks!

Manual says 91. Running 93 in my wifes and seems to run very well. Have one other that tried 87 in and does not do well, runs but takes longer to warm up and runs rough. Had only put in about one gallon so topped of with a couple more gallons of 93 to bring up the octane level and made a huge differance, much smother, almost no warm up, and big differance in performance. Hope that helps.

Thanks so much for the reply, I'll just use 93 to be safe!

the dealership put regular unleaded in mine when i bought it,but the first time i had to fill it up i put 93 in it from exxon and it ran so much better and so far the mileage has even gone up or maybe thats becuase it just starting to get broken in lol,it only has about 430 miles on it just yet,and so far only two tanks of gas !!!!!! but then again it did have 130 miles on it when i bought it.
