Just got home from a couple of days away on mine - it's a great bike to ride, nice and smooth and loads of wallop when you want to overtake a line of cars swiftly and safely. Nice and forgiving in the corners too.

Maintenance, Servicing, and Mechanical / Re: Super unleaded/redex
« Last post by ed on Yesterday at 11:06:18 PM »Z1000SX hasn't got a knock-sensor, so higher octane fuel won't generate any more power as the ignition map won't change (opposite to a car which will advance the ignition then listen for knock and retard the ignition a touch when it detects knock).
I only use it in 2 circumstances:
- in Alps when at high altitude as my Honda started to knock quite a bit at 8-9,000feet up and pulling away at low revs in higher gears
- just before hibernation for the winter I fill it with Shell VPower as it's supposed to be highest quality fuel, so I figure it should be the best stuff to leave in the tank over the winter.
