Should be ok. Don't sweat it.

 

No issue whatsoever. Bike will adjust.

When I was younger (and by definition stupider) I ran my ZX10 on regular 85 (in Colorado 87 = 85 due to altitude) for over 10 years and over 40K miles. Bought it used and never got the owner's manual. This was pre internet and it never actually occurred to me to use premium. I thought that was just for max performance.

Bike ran like the wind and never gave me a minutes trouble. Probably saved enough on gas to buy my next bike

 

At least it wasn't diesel. A friend's wife did that once. Ruined the motor in her gixxah.

 

Weird. Usually a gas engine with diesel refuses to run, and you drain everything, change fuel filter, and add gas. It's when you put gas in a diesel that it goes pear shaped (early detonation).

 

Kaboom!









Eggghhhh. Sike.

You good dude.

 

One word of caution.
The bike is made to run premium fuel..

Is this bad for the OP?
It could be but probably not...

Actually, there's no problem running fuel with, some what, lower octane rating but don't put a lot of load to the engine until next gas fill with the right fuel quality.

This is why:
Since those engines lack fuel quality sensor and knock sensor the EMS can't adapt for poor fuel quality.

As far as i know, up to this YM ther's no short or long term fuel trim adaptation either, (even my old saab from -99 have at least two of those systems).

Why is this bad?
Depending on engine load, temperature and other conditons, poor fuel quality could cause the engine to knock (ping) which can ruin the engine in an instant.

Since this forum have members world wide.
There's two majour scales of octane rating, MON and RON.

E,g, in the US MON is used where Premium equals an octane number of 91, but where i live RON is used and Premium equals a number of 95..

Hope it cleard up some questions

 

I concur.

 

Premium where I live, in the south east, premium goes from 93 to 110.

 

Good you brought that up.
Where i live we simply call it 95 or 98 octane (RON).
If "Premium" span over several octane points it might be tricky.
Both my cars need 98 octane (RON) or higher to performe right.

In the earlier days we had this system :
Regular (93/94 octane), Premium (96/97 octane) och Super (99/100 octane). All RON scale..
But now there's only two and gasohol with 85% ethanol & 15% gasoline.

This is how Yamaha explaine it for the YM 09 to 11:

 

Cool.... ?
I think the forum split a post again

 

what are your thoughts on my situation?

 

Yea, you’re fine. Run it really low without a bunch of throttle; add more high octane. You’ll be fine

 

Got it backwards. It would be 85% petrol, 15% ethanol.
.
You'd have to set your bike to run on alcohol if 85% ethanol I would think.
