Ethanol
Ethanol is added to petrol in volumes up to 10% in Europe and up to 85% in other
countries. Triumph motorcycles can use fuel containing ethanol up to 25%.
Fuel Requirements - USA
In the United States of America where the octane rating of fuel is measured in a different
way, the following information may be applied:
This model is designed to run on unleaded gasoline with a CLC or AKI octane rating
(R+M)/2 of 87 or higher.
If 'Knocking' or 'Pinking' occurs at a steady engine speed under normal load, use a
different brand of gasoline or a higher octane rating.
The use of leaded gasoline is illegal in some countries, states or territories and will
invalidate the vehicle and emissions control warranties. Additionally, leaded gasoline
will cause damage to emissions control components.
Oxygenated Gasoline
To help in meeting clean air standards, some areas of the U.S. use oxygenated gasoline
to help reduce harmful emissions. This model will give best performance when using
unleaded gasoline. However, the following should be used as a guide to the use of
oxygenated fuels.
Because of the generally higher volatility of oxygenated fuels, starting, engine
response and fuel consumption may be adversely affected by their use. Should any of
these difficulties be experienced, run the motorcycle on normal unleaded gasoline.
