HELP! what kind of gas do you use in your RZR 800

[Ms.Havasu]

We just got a used 2011 RZRs 800 and it's time to fill her up. Never asked the guy we bought it from what octane he uses.. Any suggestions?

 

[Gelcoater]

Call him and ask?

 

[RiverDave]

For the 5 gallons, why wouldn't you just run 91?

[HavasuHank]

how much fuel was in it when you bought it?

I dunno
I didn't want to mess it up if that was too rich.
I figured someone here would know the answer

I would run 91..

FYI got the Teryx running.. Got a little electrical problem but it will be sorted quickly. (I hope) Looking forward to doing some offroading if you're up to it!

Love to, anytime!

We still have our 800 owners manual and it says 87 octane.
We always ran 91 anyway because most our off roads toys call for 91.

I always run 91. Thats what the dealer told me to run.

 

[Outdrive1]

I've never put premium in mine. If it doesn't call for premium, it will do nothing for you.

I run 87 in my 500 Crew, no issues at all.

 

[Paratesties]

I have always run 87 in all my SideXSides

 

[McRib]

Run what the manuel says. Unless it has engine mods or ecu mods. Premium is a waste in unmodified SxS's. Everything today burns clean. Who knows u could end up with a soot prob like people do on there boats.

 

[FreeBird236]

Just got a Can Am 800 manual says 87 dealer said 91, first tank 91 might switch and try 87. I'm here full time also would like to tag along.

 

[digger]

We have run 87 in our RZR's since we got them 4 years ago.

 

[shockwave714]

2010 rzrs 800 I run 87

 

[Flyinbowtie]

#1 son just bought a 2009 Rzr with a turbo on it, 7lbs. of boost and he runs 91.

RD last I heard the Teryx had blown up again with 10 miles on the rebuild...fixed already?

 

[Cole Trickle]

I always run 91 in my dirt toys that will be driven hard. Why not have that little extra peice of mind for $2.00 a tank

 

[Bails]

I run 91 in my 900. Thats what the dealer said, figure it's cheap piece of mind.

Because higher octane in a stock, low compression motor that's designed to run on 87, gains you no real peace of mind by running 91.

I understand how octane works. Higher octane slows down detonation and these things are held wide open for long periods of time.

If mine was stock it probably wouldn't matter...once you add timing and rpm,etc...it dosent hurt imo

 

[2Driver]

So when the people that engineered it, tested it, warranty it and make it, say to use 87, exactly what is the peace of mind from running 91?

All top tier fuels use about the same detergent and if it's not pinging then what am I missing? http://www.toptiergas.com/

Great looking S BTW.
