Will it hurt the motorcycle if you mix 87 and 93 octane gas?

Mixing 87 and 93 octane gas will not hurt your motorcycle. In fact, it is a common practice to mix different octane fuels to achieve a desired octane rating. For example, if you want to run 91 octane fuel, you can simply mix 50% 87 octane fuel with 50% 93 octane fuel.

Mixing different octane fuels will not damage your motorcycle's engine. However, it is important to note that using a higher octane fuel than your motorcycle requires will not provide any additional performance benefits. In fact, it may actually reduce performance and fuel economy.

If you are not sure what octane fuel your motorcycle requires, you should consult your owner's manual. Most motorcycles require 87 octane fuel, but some high-performance motorcycles may require 91 or even 93 octane fuel.

Here are some additional tips for choosing the right octane fuel for your motorcycle:

* If you are not sure what octane fuel your motorcycle requires, consult your owner's manual.

* Use the lowest octane fuel that your motorcycle requires. Using a higher octane fuel than your motorcycle requires will not provide any additional performance benefits.

* If you are experiencing knocking or pinging, you may need to use a higher octane fuel.

* If you are riding in high altitudes, you may need to use a higher octane fuel.

* If you are storing your motorcycle for a long period of time, you should use a fuel stabilizer. Fuel stabilizer will help to prevent the fuel from going bad.
