Suzuki GSX250R: Should I Use 92 or 95 Octane Gasoline?
2 Answers
Both 92 and 95 octane gasoline can be used for the Haojue Suzuki GSX250R. Additional information: Engine: The GSX250R is equipped with a water-cooled parallel twin-cylinder engine, the same as the GW250, but with adjustments to the maximum power and torque to suit its entry-level sports bike positioning. The maximum power is 18.4 KW at 8000 rpm, and the maximum torque is 23.4 NM at 6500 rpm. About Suzuki: Suzuki (SUZUKI), founded in 1920, is a Japanese automobile manufacturer. The "S" in the Suzuki logo is 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.
As a long-time Suzuki GSX250R owner, I've tested it extensively over the years. With a compression ratio of 11.5:1, the official manual states 92 octane is perfectly fine, but I recommend using 92 for daily commuting since it's cheaper. For weekend mountain rides or sustained high-RPM riding in summer, switching to 95 octane is advisable for better knock resistance - the engine vibration is noticeably reduced and throttle response becomes crisper. The key is using reputable gas stations, as poor fuel quality makes higher octane ratings meaningless. Using 92 octane for thousands of kilometers won't cause any issues - I've commuted with 92 for two years with stable fuel consumption around 3.5L/100km.
