RX1 on 87 octane?

[rx1familyman]

I normally run 93 octane in my 2 stroke, but has anyone had any problems with 87octane. :?: A article in a magazine I read said it was alright to run 87.

Yes, the engine is good to run on 87 octane. The only reason it says 88 in the book is because thats what they have in Japan. The books are ALWAYS conservative, it would probably be fine on 83.

Thanks for the info, do you know if yamaha makes a hitch fo the RX1?

 

[RX-1MAN]

HITCH :!: Quit riding with guys that own Arctic Cats :lol: Seriously though, I've never seen one listed.

Hey rx1man thanks for the reply, but it sure drives the articat guys nuts when you go by them towing a sleigh full of kids :twisted: Sounds like you have a bunch of kids also, there's nothing more fun than loading up the kids in the sleigh behind the rx1!! Then my wife jumps on the Venture with my boy :lol: Wish more people would bring their kids into the outdoors, would solve alot of problems :idea:

Hey, you sure got that right and a lot more fun too.

Look at where the exhaust comes out on that sucker and ask yourself if you really want a bunch of kids sucking on the pipes.

If you want to do a hitch for CARGO, I would recommend a custom hitch with a LARGE AREA connection plate to bolt onto the sides of the tunnel. Aluminum is NOT the best thing for holding stuff like that, and with the power that motor generates, a "normal" hitch could rip the tunnel to shreds.

I've only got two sons rx1familyman. They both have gone out on my SRX, but I've never had any luck getting the wife out there. The college son now has a steady girlfriend so his interests are not with riding a sled any more :!: :lol:
