rs200 fuel

[ianf7771]

bit of a silly question, do i put uleaded fuel in my rs200 or is there an additive i need besides 2 stroke oil ?

[GreekMaster]

missing the point here. what ur trying to do excactly? what additive your asking

[ianf7771]

im thinking it would of run on 4 star in 1980 so is it safe to put unleaded in it ?

[ianf7771]

or maybe even 2 star ????

[neversaydie]

You've no choice regarding "stars"

Its unleaded or super unleaded

Its a can of worms opening this up again, since both types have their advocates

I only use super in my two as it contains no Ethanol, but that's due to them both being pre 1997 bikes, one 17 years old, the other 28 years old

[ianf7771]

ok so mine is 34 years old so the 98 octane would suffice plus the obvious 2 stroke oil ??

When you say " is there an additive i need besides 2 stroke oil ?" are you saying you are premixing 2 stroke oil with the petrol ? The RS200 should have an autolube system fitted to save you mixing the 2 stroke oil with the petrol unless a previous owner has done away with it. From memory I think the RS200 had the 2 stroke oil tank under the seat like the RD200 that you kept topped up with the 2 stroke oil.

the autolube system is still in place so not pre mixing, so just need to know if i run it on normal unleaded petrol ?

[Campaman]

Yes you can put normal unleaded in it, it will have been running on unleaded since unleaded is all you can get, you can put the Super unleaded in if you want but that's your choice.

Yes. Using a good quality 2 stroke oil is also a bonus. I use a standard unleaded petrol and a fully synthetic 2 Stoke oil.
