I was just wondering if regular unleaded 87 octane gas was ok for a stock banshee besides the wiseco pistons. I've been using premium but since gasoline is rediculously expensive right now and the banshee is a thirsty animal I was wondering if regular gas would be ok. Thanks everybody.

 

NO........ The recommended fuel octane for a stock Banshee is 90 (R+M/2) or higher octane.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Thats the price for riding a 2-stroke. I wouldn't run anything less then 90 in it unless you ABSOLUTLEY have to.

 

I would never run 87 octane gas in either a 4 or 2 stroke. The only 87 I use is in my Tacoma & lawn mower.

 

run premium in all sport quads.

 

I used to run 87 in my banshee until i talked to a mechanic/friend, he set me straight [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img].

 

right on, thanks guys [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]. i can get premium gasoline here for $1.04 per litre right now and as far as I know it is cheaper than most places here in New Brunswick. I got the machine secondhand but the manual was gone [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img] so i thought it might be a good idea to find out from all the knowledgeable people here. thanks again [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

i wouldn't run any rugular gas in any 2 stroke,,,buy an octane booster can,it should come better and cheaper to use.

 

by the liter eH? thas just weird to think im so used to the gallon and what not "so how many gallons----wait scratch that how many liters of gas did you buy today" lol doesnt sound right for my mind its up to 220 here in utah supposed to be 3 by the end of the summer.

 

its at about 2.05 a gallon here in maine... i hate em... imma go buy a bicycle.
