    I am not sure its due to the fuel in that case. The minimum requirement is 91 octane which should be fine.

        I guess bluevolt is saying that the sound is rough and deeper and not the ride quality or engine performance.

        This is bound to happen with carbon build-up in the exhaust chambers. It is a normal phenomenon.

        Expected. Ride aggressively and the FE will surely drop. A light throttle can ensure better mileage, but then this is a ninja and it has to be ridden hard.

          well its not about knocking sound in engine, 91 octane works fine but it sounds different and feels different when running on 97 octane. i tried 91 octane only once (tank full) wasn't really happy with it. so i am just sticking with 97 octane

                  • today was the day for me as it has been for many of you earlier - when people -
                    - turned back
                    - told me its a nice buy
                    - asked about the average
                    - even some folks who looked like villagers asked which company
                    - how did i pay ( loan or cash )
                    - told the light is on

                    so since 12:30 p.m. i'm a proud owner of my GREEN kwacker

                    i know a lot has been said about how to drive and all that -
                    but still if anyone can give me do's and don't during the run in period for both throttle handling, gear shifts, and other issues it would be great.

                    the only spoiler is it's raining daily these days in b'lore so i'm sure my ride will be muddy very soon and will require lot of cleaning.

                    • Congratulations buddy!!
                      Just keep the rpm in check as per the manual. Read the manual in your free time. Its a wealth of useful information.
                      Just enjoy the ride..

                        I am getting ~35.07 .. City Riding only. I am using sada HP Gas which I guess should be ~92 Octane. Average speed is ~55 kms/hr .. Kms on Odo 1400. 1st Serving is done.

                            Isnt the normal HP petrol 87 octane? Not sure. I think Speed/Power are 91.

                              Plain Unleaded fuel is 87 octane.

                              Premium fuels such as Super / Speed / Xtrapremium are all 91 octane.

                              Speed however is (or was) available as Speed (91 octane), Speed 93 and Speed 97, the numbers denoting the octane levels respectively.

                                Thanks @hyperion & @n_aditya for the info.

                                I asked PBK for the the fuel to be used for Ninja. They informed me sada HP which is 92 Octane, should be fine. Looks like I need do some checking @HP fuel station.

                                By the way is anyone using sada petrol for Ninja? Any recommendations?
