All,
I have a 08 Vulcan Nomad Love it, Was wondering if regular gas is good or stick with the Preium gas? 87 vrs 91.

 

Have you tried out both octanes on your ride yet? I generally prefer to start out with the 91 to see how the bike reacts.

Welcome to KF

 

Welcome to the Forums, Nomad. As tempting as it may be, I will not offer my explanation of how octane works and what might be best suited to your needs. (--Insert--much applause from the membership--here.)
What is specified for your engine? What is your compression ratio?

 

If it was mine, 91 is what I would use. All my atvs and my klx I use 91. Plus if you let the bike sit for awhile, the 91 will last longer than 87 with the higher octane rating. I even run 91 in all my old vehicles since I dont drive them much.

 

I started running the highest in all my bikes and in the family car. The difference in price is offset by a better performing engine and more mileage. Its basically a wash, you get back what you put in. (TWSS)

 

Oh I forgot, welcome to the forums!

 

I'm going to stick to the 91 octane my bike is a 08 1600 Nomad it runs good on the 91 just wanted to see if anyone was running a lesser grade and how it preformed. Ride safe and Have Fun!
