    ok searched the forums an cant find anything.
    Premium 93 unleaded octain cool for a TE250 running 50:1 No 95 that I can find in FL unless I want to run race gas or avgas and cut it with nolead. I'm assumming the dealer put 93 or so in the first tank full, cause they arent gonna go to farf out of there way on gas I wouldn't think.
    personally the gas isnt gonna last long in the tank...this bike is fun outta the box!!

    Second fuel related question.....no fuel filter eccept at the petcock I guess? Are people running secondary inlines filters like we are on the vintage rides?

    93 is fine... Avgas not meant for motorcycles....

    you dont need a inline filter...

    I agree, 93 should be fine. If you have non-ethanol gas nearby even better.

    I used to always run an inline filter, but found the only advantage is to see the fuel flow. The stock petcock on my 144 was banged up, gummed up, leaked and POS, but didn't pass one spec of anything to the carb. Replaced it with a real petcock and decided I didn't need an inline filter. Also use clear fuel line and Lectron has clear bowl. :cheers:

    Sorry to dig up and old thread. The gas I get is non-alcohol clear super rated at 92 octane. Would you use that as is or add some booster? 2017 TE150 stock motor.

    I'm a big fan of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Unless there's a problem, I'd use what works.

    Agree with that. I get confused by the various octane ratings and asking to make sure 95 10% ethanol specified in the manual is close to the 92 non ethanol super I have in it now. Since I only have approx. 2.5hrs on it (more snow than usual this year) I'm just being cautious.

    What he said :thumbsup: If it's running good and the plug looks right don't worry about it. If it's not running good take it back to the dealer, because they should have set it up for you. Unless they're knuckleheads, then buy a JD jet kit and keep reading.

    91 at the pump (US) is about 95 RON
    If you find a 92 or 93 non ethanol you are golden.
