Which octane fuel do i use ??
 

Hi guys im in chile on a dr650 can anyone recommed the best fuel to use ,p.s. Anyone heading the same way with garmin maps for arg,braz,ven,columbia ??

The best fuel to use for a DR would be petrol. :D

I'd say always get the highest octane you can but it should run on pretty much anything - sometimes all you can get in some places is 76 octane but I imagine Chile has better stuff available.

That thing will run on anything... But yeah, Petrol would be best ;)


I don't think you'l have a problem in South America.

I don't think the numbers on the pump relate to the same octane numbers in the states. I recommend 95 but I have a fuel injected F800. Compared to Peru gas in Chile is great. If you hear a ping on acceleration your too low octane wise. Another hint of problems is poor gas milage. (But other things can contribute to that.) Dave
