I prefer filling Xtra Premium once a week(100 bucks) just to make sure everything is clean. The additives is what sets it apart and lends some smooth character in the machine. May be it's psychological but it works well for the bike and i can notice immediate difference.Comment

I prefer filling xtrapremium while going for long rides coz most of the time i ride at around 90-100 kmph and i feel bike goes smoother with xtrapremium than normal one. Acceleration is also smooth and its not psychological. Haven't tried any other brand so cannt comment. I guess friction buster thing is not just a spoof.
The only problem which is still there is the sound from front part (not talking abt fairing) still not abt to find out from where it is coming and its coming in the Vib range 65-75kmph. My best guess is whole fork assembly along with handlebars
. Anybody with this kind of issue or any solutions?

But I feel Xtrapremium waala here do jhol.At times when I fill oil from HP,there ain't much change in the bike's smoothness..
Try Speed,the difference is immediately felt compared to normal fuel...Last edited by shivank; 04-26-2010, 08:55 PM.If you ride like there's no tomorrow...worry not there won't be!Comment

It's more of a phycological thing rather than the actuall, i bet if he pours extra premium or any thing like that from a normal petrol dispenser, no one will then talk about the smoothness here.

Xtrapremium doesn't have any additives unlike speed or power. It's only difference is that it's 91 octane. Speed and power (not 93/97) on the other hand are regular 87 octane with detergents added.
People can say all they want about high-octane fuels being only for high-compression engines but i've noticed better performance and cooler running with a number of bikes from the RD, cbz, boxer and the fi. Here's something even better. I have a total of 4 IOC pumps in my area where i get xtrapremium. But the one closest to my home gives me the best performance. Go figure.
p.s. how do you turn of the annoying new toolbar at the bottom of the page. why do people keep forcing new features on you?

Exactly.Now i can say that it's not psychological as others have also felt the same. In fact, it is more noticeable in my Victor rather than the RTR.Originally posted by shivank View Post
Xtrapremium does use additive.In fact, it's the only one which uses addtives, AFAIK.Check this out...The Hindu : Business : IOC to launch premium petrolOriginally posted by julianpaul View Post
And yes even i have noticed sharper performance and cooler running of the engine. But somehow i dont use it too often. Once a week is what works out for me. Also, i havent noticed any bump in the mileage whatsoever contrary to their claims.For mileage gains, there's BP Speed!!
You need to find it yourself.Has to be fairing. Check the whole setup.Originally posted by flyingJian View PostGuys any suggestions or any fix abt this one. Or i have to live with this problem?
Btw, Guys check this out.Quick throttle kit for RTR 180. Also it is connected to the front brake. Dunno what it is. Pic taken by my brother's friend at a TVS SVC.
