2021 RT LTD - What Octane Rating?

Keep keeping it friendly. YES. :bowdown: :bowdown: :2thumbs:

Dealer’s head mechanic told me to use only highest octane I can find in my new 2021 RTL... as the manual suggested... so I do. But it is good to know that the engine will not seize if I inadvertantly put lower octane in.

I’m already eating rice and beans so I feel like I can splurge on gas for the Spyder.

What's wrong with Rice & Beans!

Rice and beans do not produce enough gas to go down the block. Ask how I know ................. :clap:

Wrong rice, wrong beans, no sausage, no onion and no special cajun magic to make it taste good. :lecturef_smilie:

If I wasn't fixing to take a ride over to LA, up thru AR and back to TN it would be around 6 PM?

At least you are getting to ride. It's still raining off and on in my part of TX. Just enough to mess up both the windshield and the face shield. Damn I hate that !

Bad part is most of it is for work. Yes, my Spyder is my company car as much as I can make it. May get to sneak in a quick trip to Spyderpops, that will be the highlite of the trip.

Sadly, we've not got a good indi here in my part of TX. As such, I'm having to use the $140 hr dealer network. If I were in Texarkana, I would make the trip

I did make the trip, and it was well worth it. Got the front end aligned. Great folsk.

Newb to the forums here. I'd been pondering the fuel question since my '21 F3 arrived home. My experience has been two wheels for 50+ years, well before ethanol. As a kid, I remember thirty some cents for a gallon of regular...I digress. One of my last two-wheelers was a '07 Victory. The manufacturer recommended high test fuel for it. I only used regular. Why? Two of the best Vic mechanics in the business said it was a waste of money to run premium, unless the motor pinged. My Vic never pinged. Now when it comes to the Spyder, I'll use regular unless it pings, which it hasn't. The difference may be that I've been using ethanol free regular in all my bikes (without pinging). It costs about the same as premium ethanol but, based on what I think I know, it's better to have no ethanol regular than premium ethanol. YMMV of course.
