Table 1-4. Octane Ratings
SPECIFICATION RATING
Pump Octane (R+M)/2 91 (95 RON)
GASOLINE BLENDS
Your motorcycle was designed to get the best performance
and efficiency using unleaded gasoline. Most gasoline is
blended with alcohol and/or ether to oxygenated blends.
The type and amount of alcohol or ether added to the fuel is
important.
Do not use gasoline that contains methanol. Doing so can
result in fuel system component failure, engine damage
and/or equipment malfunction. (00148a)
• Gasoline containing METHYL TERTIARY BUTYL ETHER
(MTBE): Gasoline/MTBE blends are a mixture of gasoline
and as much as 15% MTBE. Gasoline/MTBE blends can
be used in your motorcycle.
• ETHANOL is a mixture of 10% ethanol (Grain alcohol) and
90% unleaded gasoline. Gasoline/ethanol blends can be
used in your motorcycle if the ethanol content does not
exceed 10%.
• REFORMULATED OR OXYGENATED GASOLINES
(RFG): Reformulated gasoline is a term used to describe
gasoline blends that are specifically designed to burn
cleaner than other types of gasoline, leaving fewer tailpipe
emissions. They are also formulated to evaporate less
when you are filling your tank. Reformulated gasolines
use additives to oxygenate the gas. Your motorcycle will
run normally using this type of gas and Harley-Davidson
recommends you use it when possible, as an aid to cleaner
air in our environment.
• Do not use race gas or octane boosters. Use of these fuels
will damage the fuel system.
Some gasoline blends might adversely affect the starting,
driveability or fuel efficiency of the motorcycle. If any of these
problems are experienced, try a different brand of gasoline or
gasoline with a higher octane blend.
