What's that about the filters?

Ohhh, just that the internal filters came unglued, and all the crap found on the bottom of a tank went all through my fuel system

Prior to that I had managed to get 300 k's before switching to reserve

optimax have cleaners in the fuel/waxy stuff
it was designed for cars moreso than bikes

is it only optimax that has been designed like this? we only get BP Ultimate, which is obviously BP 98 ron, but thats it down here in tas, would that b alright to run through it u reckon ? or anyone reckons ?

I was going to comment on the trash I’ve been reading from some in this post
And say how I’ve been a Motor Mechanic since I was a young bloke
But decided not to

Stereo it's like this
Nothing may happen running on standard 91 ULP
But it is most likely you will cause some engine damage if used in your bike

At the end of the day is it worth the saving of $1 a tank full
all I know is I run BP Ultimate 98 but if needed will only run 95 if 98 isn’t available

so does stereos bike actually require 95 or what?

I had been warned not to run Shell Optimax in fuel injected motorcycles but as I lived close to a Shell I dismissed that warning and after 3 months of Optimax my injectors became so blocked it was like riding with fouled plugs. Pulled the injectors and cleaned them of all the goo and now run Vortex or Synergy. No problems after thousands of k's. Oh yeah no motorcycle manufacturer says any amount of ethanol is ok. Apparently it loves any plastic filters.

i do find a diff in performance when using bp98 and 95. it idles smoother and runs better and plus i can get 10-20kms more out of a tank.
dont be cheap otherwise your bike might die

running the bare minimum recommended fuel will never ever hurt your bike.

social security ... looking at his sig its an 03/04 zx6r and on the tank on my bike it says 'minium 95 RON' so running 91 in it is a big no no me thinks

being a tight arse at the bowser might cost u serious dollars at the mechanics when your engine starts playing up

95 it is
