Fuel type

[Dax Rush Busa]

Sorry for the newbie question but what type of fuel should I use in an 08 Busa.

[Batfink]

Do you have the users manual?

I say 91 is usable, 95 is preferred and for a treat try 98 BUT the bike will run slight
Y different for each and if you're advanced enough to be playing with setup then you want a map for each type.
I generally put in 95 as its most available.

[Dax Rush Busa]

Thanks for that.
I don't have a manual but I should get one
I'll start with 95.

When I get to work tomorrow I will post up a link to the workshop manual for you... That should have recommended octane requirements.
From memory its 91+ lol

[Dax Rush Busa]

Thanks that would be really good.

Cheers.

I have a 2010 Gen2 and the sticker on the tanks says to use 95 or higher.

Just have to remember in 2004 we only had 2 rateings for Unleaded... ULP - 91 RON and PULP 95 RON

[Camel]

go the 98 RON

Had to put 91 fuel in my 99 yesterday form a united garage it was that or e10 bike run like a piece of crap after tbat starting off it was missing so and loss of power where a blackbird over powered me on an overtake thats embarrassing draining tank today get some 95 back into the old girl

Just a quick note here.
Internal combustion engines require 3 things, Fuel, Spark and Compression.
When one of these is missing they won't go, but also when one of these is poor, it'll show up in different ways.
Crumpy, you say the bike started missing etc.
Good fuel with a lower octane will not alone normally cause an engine to miss.
It could be that a higher octane fuel is masking another problem, like poor spark for example.
Just to be on the safe side, I would check the battery voltage and the charge rate, and when were the plugs changed last.
Just my thoughts but may be worth checking while your having a look.
