  • Fuel Question (Fuel for the fire!)

    I was reading in this link about proper fuel for the XS/XJ


    Link


    In it is this link to the Misc. Tips section

    Leaded VS Unleaded


    If this were the case and Yamaha supposedly designed this for unleaded fuel as stated, why does my XJ still say this under my sideplate? *Note bottom left.




    "Gasoline Grade: Regular (Leaded)

    Research Octane: 91 min "



    I honestly have no problems with knocking or pinging on 87 unleaded. I was just wondering, since this Jurek Zarzycki acts like they should know, why is that the sideplate would seem to state otherwise?
