Hi MSE's :hello:

I've just been to the petrol garage and purchased some Super unleaded petrol for my 125cc Yamaha Maxster but now I am concerned whether or not I can use it?

I just purchased my scooter and the petrol now needs topping up, I know it runs on unleaded petrol but I don't want to feed it super unleaded if it doesn't play nice:eek: any advice?
I also bought it in a jerry can anyway so haven't put it in yet, but I was also wondering would it be OK to mix it with the normal unleaded already in the tank?

Thanks! :beer:
Note: the petrol is 95 Unleaded and 95 super unleaded :)
:dance: I am great , yes I am :dance:

:D If you think I was useful , Thank you, for thanking me :D

    When I owned a Gilera Runner SP 50cc Scooter back in 2003/04 I used to run it on Super Unleaded from the Jet garage all the time. I don't know if it was just all in my head but it felt like it ran better on the Super stuff. Back then I never took notice of fuel prices. When £7 filled the tank and lasted a fortnight on my commute to work, you didn't need to. :)

    Throw it in, but there is no need to put Super in it.

    Surely not else they'd be the same? Super is normally 97-99 octane....

    It'll make no difference anyway.

    Super unleaded made a massive difference on my bike, more than 10mpg. It wasn't in my head either, my mate borrowed it and when he filled it up he put super in it, I only found out when it should have run out of petrol and hadn't!

    Mind you, that was a Fireblade not a 125, you might or might not notice a difference but it certainly won't do any harm.

    You can't do any harm running higher Octane fuel.
    Octane number refers to its knock resisting properties. You can never have too much knock resistance.

  • It's a 4 stroke scooter it will be ok on regular or super.
    Nothing to see here, move along.
