Can the CFMoto 250NK use 92-octane gasoline?

CFMoto 250NK can use 92-octane gasoline. Gasoline grades: Gasoline appears as a transparent liquid, flammable, with main components being C5-C12 aliphatic hydrocarbons and cycloalkanes, along with a certain amount of aromatic hydrocarbons. Gasoline has a high octane number (anti-knock combustion performance) and is classified into 90, 93, 95, 97, etc., based on the octane number. Gasoline production process: Gasoline is produced by the fractional distillation of crude oil and the cracking of heavy distillates. During crude oil processing, units such as distillation, catalytic cracking, thermal cracking, hydrocracking, catalytic reforming, and alkylation all produce gasoline components, but with different octane numbers and sulfur impurity contents. The gasoline components are blended, and high-octane components are added if necessary, to finally obtain gasoline products that meet national standards.

I've been riding the CFMoto 250NK for over two years, using 92-octane gasoline for daily commuting almost every day. The engine runs smoothly with no abnormal noises during acceleration. 92-octane is affordable and practical—it saves money while delivering sufficient power output. Some people worry about compression ratio issues, but the 250NK's compression ratio is well-designed to handle daily needs with 92-octane. I once tried 95-octane and noticed minimal difference—slightly better throttle response, but not worth the price gap. Also, a reminder for new riders: choose reputable gas stations, as poor-quality fuel can cause spark plug carbon buildup. Regularly replacing the air filter also extends engine life. Overall, 92-octane works perfectly fine with this bike—no need to overthink higher grades.

I've researched the engine of the CFMoto 250NK, and its compression ratio isn't particularly high, making 92-octane gasoline a perfect match for its octane requirements, which helps prevent knocking issues. For my daily use, 92-octane is sufficient for city traffic congestion, and the engine sound remains smooth. If you frequently ride on highways or uphill, using higher-octane fuel like 95 might slightly improve performance, but it's not a necessity. Fuel quality is also crucial, as poor-quality gasoline can easily lead to fuel system malfunctions. Therefore, I recommend sticking to Sinopec or PetroChina gasoline and regularly checking fuel lines for signs of aging.

It is feasible to use 92-octane gasoline for the CFMoto 250NK. I've asked many riders in motorcycle groups, and most of them use it without issues. 92-octane fuel is economical and suitable for those on a tight budget, such as students or commuters. Some occasional minor engine vibrations may occur, but cleaning the fuel injectors promptly will resolve the issue.
