The Haojue Suzuki GSX250R can be fueled with either 92 or 95 octane gasoline. Additional information: Engine: The GSX250R is equipped with a water-cooled parallel twin-cylinder engine, the same as the GW250, but with adjustments to maximum power and torque to suit its entry-level sportbike positioning. It delivers a maximum power of 18.4 kW at 8000 rpm and a maximum torque of 23.4 Nm at 6500 rpm. About Suzuki: Suzuki (SUZUKI), founded in 1920, is a Japanese automobile manufacturer. The 'S' in the Suzuki logo stands for the first capital letter of 'SUZUKI,' symbolizing infinite strength and representing the limitless development of Suzuki Motor Corporation. Suzuki provides high-quality products to customers worldwide and offers excellent service to those who use Suzuki products.
I've been riding the Suzuki GSX250R for a long time, and I usually use 95-octane gasoline. This motorcycle has a relatively high compression ratio. The 92-octane gasoline has a lower octane rating, which can easily cause knocking—an abnormal combustion in the engine that produces a rattling sound. Long-term use of 92-octane may damage components like pistons or spark plugs. Although 95-octane is more expensive, it provides smoother power response and more stable acceleration. Every time I refuel, I make sure to go to a reputable gas station to avoid low-quality fuel, as clogged fuel lines can be a bigger hassle. When changing spark plugs, I also check if carbon buildup is caused by fuel issues. Saving money shouldn’t mean compromising on fuel quality. Developing regular maintenance habits can extend the engine's lifespan and make riding more enjoyable.
