R3T fuel

[vanguard138]

I have been burning premium (91-92 octane) in my R3T as recommended by my dealer. I have noticed R3 captains burning regular. Any R3T captains using regular? Not that I am cheap but would this not adversely affect the machine?

I burn Chevron Regular with Techron and have 42,000+ and no adverse effects...use the Star Tron Enzyme when traveling as not always Chevron available.Premium is a waste of money(and maybe Star Tron Too!!!)

89 Octane as recommended by Triumph. You're wasting your money running Premium, its a low compression engine.

Seems a lot of regular is only 87 octane meaning you have to go to the plus for 89. I will give it a try and see how it goes. Thanks.

Hi Rick ! I always burn regular (87) in mine. The only thing I notice is when I'm loaded up and have my best gal along, I can't lug the engine much or it will ping.

all i used in my 06 classic and my 08 r3t and stb r3t was the 87 octane and never had a problem when traded my r3t had over 57000 miles on it

Thanks, guess I will give it a try. Maybe in the spring.. getting **** cold up here! Crap!!!!!

Probably best to stay with a higher octane while pulling the trailer.

I Switch between 87 and 89 octane difference is very little to me.

I've never used anything but 87 in mine, even 2 up in the rockies with no problems.
