FUEL, ENGINE OIL AND
COOLANT
RECOMMENDATIONS

FUEL

Use premium unleaded gasoline with an
octane rating of 95 or higher (Research
method). Unleaded gasoline can extend
spark plug life and exhaust components life.
(For Canada)
Your motorcycle requires premium unleaded
gasoline whenever possible, with a minimum
pump octane rating of 90 ((R+M)/2 method).
In some areas, the only fuels that are avail-
able are oxygenated fuels.
Oxygenated fuels which meet the minimum
octane requirement and the requirements
described below may be used in your motor-
cycle without jeopardizing the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty or the Emission Control
System Warranty.
NOTE: The GSX1300BK engine is designed
to use premium unleaded gasoline only. Use
premium unleaded gasoline under all riding
conditions.
NOTE: Oxygenated fuels are fuels which
contain oxygen-carrying additives such as
MTBE or alcohol.

Gasoline containing MTBE

Unleaded gasoline
(Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) may be used in
your motorcycle if the MTBE content is not
greater than 15%. This oxygenated fuel
does not contain alcohol.

Gasoline/Ethanol Blends

Blends of unleaded gasoline and ethanol
(grain alcohol), also known as "GASOHOL",
may be used in your motorcycle if the etha-
nol content is not greater than 10%.
