Should the Lifan KPV150 use 92 or 95 octane fuel?
1 Answers
Lifan KPV150 should use 95 octane fuel. Whether a motorcycle should use 92 or 95 octane fuel depends on the motorcycle's manual and the engine's compression ratio. If the engine has a high compression ratio, it is recommended to use 95 octane gasoline. If the engine has a low compression ratio, 92 octane gasoline is suggested. 95 octane fuel has better quality, which improves the engine's acceleration performance and response speed compared to 92 octane fuel. The difference between 92 and 95 octane gasoline lies in the content of isooctane; higher octane numbers indicate better anti-knock performance. For domestic motorcycles, it is advisable to use 92 octane fuel due to their lower compression ratios. For joint-venture or imported motorcycles, 95 octane fuel is recommended. Engines with a compression ratio between 8-8.9 should use 92 octane, those between 8.8-9.8 should use 95 octane, and engines with a compression ratio above 10 should use 97 octane fuel.
