Show you how to put gasoline into the New 2017 Honda Rebel 500. Great for the beginner rider to learn how to put gas in. Produced with CyberLink PowerDirector 15
The bikes computer is made to run on 87. Ethanol is indeed bad for engines, but you can find that many places sell 87 ethanol free gasoline. Using 91 isn't going to give you any noticeable difference, because since the computer is programmed to run on 87, it'll make up for any changes in the fuel type to give you the same performance. These are computer controlled, fuel injected bikes.
I don’t really like ethanol at all yes it helps the water mix in but it is hygroscopic meaning it pulls in water from the air. Gas is hydrophobic meaning it repels water in my old carburetor bike I just opened up the bowl and drained out the water after storing it for the winter and yes taking out some of the ethanol gives it a slightly lower octane rating
At least there is a hinge on the cap. I have a 2008 VTX1300C and I have to stuff the cap in my left pocket when I fill up. For the record I also always stay on the bike to fill up. Maybe I'm lazy but after 32 years and 5 bikes no mishaps whatsoever.
i also sit on the bike when filling up. i just started using ethanol free gas, just to see if mileage is better. going on a long ride this weekend, through lot of small towns, so we'll see.
To be honest it doesn't make any sense that premium would have less ethanol. Unless otherwise stated unleaded gas can not contain more than 10% ethanol. At least as it stands today ethanol is cheaper than gas so most gas stations are probably at that 10% limit when it comes to ethanol for all unleaded grades.
What is the fuel range per a 3 gal tank on this I plan to buy one but i cant find anything on Google or get an honest answer from the dealership and it frustrates me so much I know the 250s get 55-70 depending how well your treat them over the years and keep them up please let me know when you can.
Drew Cyr I havent completely gone dry yet on gas on one tank, But on average my Gas mileage is: 18.04 kilometers per liter, 5.54 liters per 100 kilometers, or 42.42 miles per gallon. You probably could get more miles per gallon, but, since I ride open roads, I'm nervous about running out of gas. So I havent completely gone empty. My CBR 250 has way better gas milege. Hope that helps a bit.
Although that sitting on the bike whilst filling tip is a good one, here in the UK where you put petrol first and then pay, they would switch the pump off if you continued to sit on the pump in case you did a runner.
Michael Jones As Waldo said, Sound of the engine. As it revs up, you switch over. And after a while, you get so use to the sounds, you know when to switch gears. Even when to switch down gears as well.
