What Type of Gasoline Should a Motorcycle Use?

[MartinLynn]

Motorcycle The type of gasoline a motorcycle should use depends on the engine's compression ratio. Generally, engines with a compression ratio above 9.5:1 are suitable for using 95-octane gasoline. For motorcycles with lower compression ratios, using higher-octane gasoline offers no benefit. For most motorcycles, there is little to no noticeable difference between using 92 or 95-octane gasoline unless the compression ratio is relatively high. There is no need to use higher-octane gasoline otherwise. Below is an extended explanation: Compression Ratio: The compression ratio is a crucial concept in engines, indicating the degree of gas compression. It is the ratio of the volume before compression to the volume after compression, i.e., the ratio of the total cylinder volume to the combustion chamber volume. Typically, gasoline engines have a compression ratio ranging from 6 to 10.
