thanks for the helpful vids. they've been good for a review since i'm (hopefully) getting my first bike next week. took a motorcycle safety course last summer, so this was good to review.
no there isnt an argument on gas. Motorcycles need high octane gas. A motorcycle engine has tighter specs then car engines. Anybody who dosnt know this does not need to be riding a bike.
Are you Italian? I never seen anyone video hand gestures so much before when they're talking. 1:00 only a dumbass would screw up taking the nozzle out before opening the cap, but a real dumbass would upload the video thinking good enough. God you're baked on some serious bud or something.
I see you get your gas at Wall-mart. All the fuel I have used from them is junk, Both in my car & bike, I get less mileage,and the power is down on both. I wouldn't use it anymore, even if it's cheaper by 10 cent's a gal, Just not worth it too me. What have been your experiences with them & other places ? >>Please do tell. Thank's, yl
lol just noticed....steelhorseclub.....that shits plastic lol.
not hating just thought it was funny how things have changed w/ motorcycles...not that i know shit about anything cuz im a noob w/ motorcycles still...but still..made me chortle
id say rock 89 ... very true to sit on/keep thebike upright andto those who are sayin this is the dumbest video ever.. trust me this is nothing compared to 'cat woman' type videos you know people who love their animals too muchetc those areeven more riDONKulous *my 2cents
how long does the tank last on the fz6r? P.s. i will be getting a bike hopfully this summer or next (hope not). Im looking at VLOGGING. Im in Ontario Canada.
@steelhorseclub hey quick question, i had high end oil in my bike, well.... i am a new rider and tried checking oil when bike was tilted, reading no oil.. then i mixed the recommended oil with the high end oil, ti my knowledge it's not over fillled, is it bad that it is mixed? and it was only like a little oil, but i was worrying about it. second if it is a little on the "full" side it is super important that i get it drained?
@blackslay552 Honestly, the best advice I can give you is to follow the owners manual. It is very specific about what oil to use and how often to change it. If you deviate from what is recommended, you risk damaging the engine.
Now, now, junior. No need to be nasty & use inappropriate language for someone your age, as indicated by the level of maturity of your response to my comment that was not even directed at you. Neither your flattery towards me nor your homophobia will accomplish much in the real world. It's nice to live in an electronic, anonymous world where cowards like you can sling insults with no consequence. Have a nice day! :p
This should be really titled 'how ti get gas [IN] a motorcycle'. You're a native speaker, i don't know why you would think of it. A glance at the title and it reads like you're giving hints about how one can attain better mpg performance........seriously.
I want to punch you so bad for being so retarded that you and other people like you don't know how to get gas. Don't forget to keep breathing douchebag.
@SwiftCB7 BOYCOT WALMART! if you dont know how shitty of a company theyare look it up (you gotta be pretty terrible to get kicked out of europe...and im pretty sure it wasnt just an 'anti-american' type reasoning...like i said look it up)
After all this time & you still have it wrong. Who taught you this "proper technique"?
One, never sit on the bike while filling fuel tank. If engine is hot & you spill gas it can catch fire & you are toast! Two, always fill with bike on side stand so you DO NOT top up the tank too far. Gasoline needs room to breath. Only fill to bottom edge of filler cap otherwise you will be blowing fumes & fuel out of the overflow on a hot day. Always have paper towels under fuel spout to catch drips.
@graemelockieable Are you kidding? I don't even get off my bike to get gas, EVER! Only a fucking pussy would worry about the fuel igniting while filling up. Fuck you faggot.
@steelhorseclub If you think that filling up your tank is complicated, then stop wasting my oxygen! In other words stop breathing (in case you didn't catch what I meant)
well i thought it was good for people wanting to learn about stuff before they buy a bike some people dont know. also you are right you should use 93 octane these bikes have very high compression sometimes into the 13:1 range and its just a cost effective insurance for your bike.
and another thing, your worried about getting fuel on your paint yet you let that big fk off wad of keys drag accros it... think what them keys do to your tripple clamp also.. NOOB
@steelhorseclub they would be better of getting there advice of someone who has half a clue tho.. i think you will find sitting on your bike while filling up is not an advised thing to do ;-)
@09R1PILOT 5,951 viewers do... besides the more details covered means less fuck-ups by new riders which in turn mean more safety on the road for u too. you cant hate people who's aim is to inform.
@09R1PILOT do you have a bike???? didn't think so. i just got mine a mounth ago, and i looked up vids form starting to useing kick stand, over exzagerating a lil bit but still, every hting helps, and intill you get a bike you won't understand.
@blackslay552 ok retard dont really wanna get into a argument with you over a vid about filling up a bike with fuel but heres a little lesson. 1 Dont sit on the bike when filling up (look it up if you dont beleve me)
2 if you have a nice bike that you wanna take care of have your ignition key on its own, not on a dirty big keyring that will destroy your paint, your tripple clamp and what ever else it will come into contact with along the way.
SHC do you have a video on braking? Example when you are riding on a hill side and the road is steep, you are going down and you a behind a car moving quite slow. Do you apply front or rear brakes. Btw could you make a video on proper way on overtaking on a single lane and double lane road. In my country alot of bikers overtakes and cuts in many times I almost bump into them.
@steelhorseclub Nice bike much better than the old one but looks bigger. Handling would be much different than the old bike so ride carefully. I'm not good at bike models but my guess is a yamaha? judging from the logo on the gas tank. How about suzuki 650 rode by the ghost rider that one also looks cool.
Well it really depnds on the bike for the Octane rating. Put at least what they tell you in... no point in going over, only advantage you may have is quietness. Octane is "anti-knocking" compound.
@jakeroswell After you get used to your vehicle you will know what it will take to fill up. Plus if you over pay you can always go back and get your change.
One thing i do before i place to nozzle in my tank is, let the nozzle down and let the left over gas drip out. You will be surprised how much has was in there and could have been all over your bike.
Fuel grade has nothing to do with how clean or "good" the gas is. The higher the octane rating, the higher the temperature the gas burns at. So if you have a care or bike that requires premium fuel, it needs a fuel that burns at a higher temperature. Vehicles that require regular fuel need a fuel that burns at a lower temperature. Fill your car or bike with what it's supposed to be filled with for max performance.
i dont agree with filling the bike up while sitting on it for safety reasons. i always fill up off the bike, and have even checked after filling up by holding it vertical. theres really not much difference in how much you can get in the tank IMO. just my opinion...but i wouldnt want anything happening and fuel spilling all over me!
as for the grade of gas...depends on engine, but lowest octane you can run. lower octane burns easier, a higher octane will not burn as cleanly.
yea my 250 has a gas leak and it was leaking before i got it and just found it and there is a bunch of rough paint where it was leaking and going over so yea all bad
@dlee9900 As sad as it is I've never had to pump my own gas. Living in Oregon we have no self serve and the only time I've been able to pump my own gas was when visiting family in California and once during the driver education course.
Octane rating is based purely on Ping resistance... the more ping you have the shittier the fuel is burning and atomizing.... so of course the higher octane on our bikes will be better... and definitely do not wanna spill gas bro...
as long as you dont hear engine knocking, the fuel type doesnt matter. i think it's funny how many people dont know how to get gas on a bike. I still dont know what the confusion is...
Check your owners manual and see what octane the bike needs. You may be surprised. If you use a lower octane and you don't get "pinging" your bike is probably fine with it. It's not worth spending the extra money for something you don't need. As for "paying first", find a gas station where you don't pay first. Fill up and just leave. LOL
WHAT! did i see that sign say$ 4.17 for a pack of newports, damn there like 7 something here in WI. why would you want to stop smoking if its so cheap there. LOL
super unleaded just makes sense, if your engine is made for it (it doesn't burn any better, it's just more resistand against engine knocking)or if you set up an earlier ignition point (then you can get more power from the engine-if it's not too early of course).
It has to be unleaded though if you've got a catalyst, because the lead is covering the metal surface of the cat.
I am running my Hornet on 95 octane rating fuel, and I drive a scooter also on 95.
Here, we don't even have 91, not to speak of 89 or 87.
This is a rating completely unknown in Europe.
Besides, in Europe, your first fill up your tank, and you pay afterwards.
And one other thing - you should not sit on your bike while filling it up. There should be a sign on your gas station. All Shell stations here have such a sign.
i think it's just one of those sue hazard signs... + what if you decide to back up for your 10¢ pencil you left in the office... or a picture of your family eh eh?
Either way in most buildings when a fire alarm goes off the elevators are automatically disabled (unless you have the fire key). Yah that's right I tried at 4:30 in the morning on the 15th floor of a marriott hotel. lol & Yes I have seen firefighters use the elevator during a fire. Most buildings are pretty strong.
:) Oh Man. That sooo reminded me how I was nervous to fill my bike for 1st time. I never did that before and there was no one to show me, even at the driving lessons. I was just hoping i will not make something stupid, like forgetting to pay, and attempt to leave, or somethin like that. Lickily, only embarassment was, that I realized, that I was unable to get my card off the wallet with my glowes on. :)
"put it in and just let it go" *whistles* " LOL! :) Seriously tho, It's excatly how I do it, except I don't lean forward to avoid inhaling the fumes; usually I recline my back a little. looks weird to anybody seing me, but f**k'em it's my lungs :) Here in europe we use unleaded '95 at least and '98 for high-rev inline-four bikes, as their compression ratio and injectors require high-octane gas.
lol ,walk up the stairs. i know universities and colleges have such confidence in their participators lol.
i have the exact same bike as u, and when i first filled it i didn't understand the whole inside gas cap concept thing so i ended up dowsing the outside of my gas tank (twice) and only filling the bike half way. ya, not very smooth. good vid though, wish i'd seen it before my first fillup.
Thx for the hint I always fill her up while standing...
Man that sign...ahaha!!!
I remember at my school there was a sign to promote exercice that said something like: stay active...take the stairs...not the elevator...but there were NO elevators in the school!!!
Does your Fz6R really require 91 octane? My FJR requires only 'regular' 87. There is no advantage to using a higher octane gas than your engine requires. None whatsoever.
LMAO I remember that vid. I seen a kid park too close to the gas island thingy. He caught his foot on the edge and layed the bike into the gas pump. I guess he was so embarrassed he just got up and left without getting gas.
it doesn't need the 91+. My 2009 Kawasaki Ninja 250R has a compression rate of 11.6:1 and they recommend using regular unleaded gas 87. It can damage the engine if you use 91+ fuel because of pre detination. The 91+ fuel burns easyer and sometimes may ignite before its supposed to while being compressed. But with the sport bikes its usually not a problem so its free to take whatever gas you want. In a car however with lower compression its just a waste of money and wear and tear
@PaulRancourt18 No Paul, youve got that backwards. The higher grade fuel burns slower and keeps detonation from happening. The reason your bike doesnt need the higher grade fuel is because its designed to run on lower grade. Usually because timing is taken out but if you were to advance the timing or increase the compression ratio you would need a higher grade fuel.
@JimNtexas I do actually disagree with u on premium being totally useless. It has been proven to increase mileage, it does have superior cleaners mixed in, and it will avoid you losing any performance because of outside temp, deposits, or elevation causing your computer to pull timing because it senses detonation because of any of these things.
@woodenchairs ahh I see... I knew I had the right facts... just put them in the wrong order! :P Thanks.
And BTW, I had Taco Bell for the first time ever today! It was good I had just practically a plain taco but it was good! I drank a bit of hot sauce straight from the packet :P its not that hot... its good! :) Amazing tacos! :O
@PaulRancourt18 ok, when I was typing that I was thinking in terms of car engines but yea motorcycle engines can tolerate lower octane gas because the small pistons. burning speed is the same no matter higher or lower octane, its the detonation under pressure that makes it different. higher octane tend to harder to detonate under pressure so the mixed gas would burn when the spark plugs want it to. my CBR600rr is about 12.3:1 so 91+ is recommended.
super unleaded is the best if you ride alot. if your bike is going to sit it's bad. will gum up carbs. trust me i know. that's why i'm not riding now.
@sunnyjason Yes seafoam is good, as is Lucas fuel treatment. There is also a product called Sta-bil that works good if your machine is going to sit for a while.
If you don't know how to put gas in a motorcycle you shouldn't be riding one.

i dont agree with filling the bike up while sitting on it for safety reasons. i always fill up off the bike, and have even checked after filling up by holding it vertical. theres really not much difference in how much you can get in the tank IMO. just my opinion...but i wouldnt want anything happening and fuel spilling all over me!
as for the grade of gas...depends on engine, but lowest octane you can run. lower octane burns easier, a higher octane will not burn as cleanly.

yea my 250 has a gas leak and it was leaking before i got it and just found it and there is a bunch of rough paint where it was leaking and going over so yea all bad

If your able to drive a motorcycle you should be able to pump gas without a how to video!!!!

@dlee9900 As sad as it is I've never had to pump my own gas. Living in Oregon we have no self serve and the only time I've been able to pump my own gas was when visiting family in California and once during the driver education course.

Octane rating is based purely on Ping resistance... the more ping you have the shittier the fuel is burning and atomizing.... so of course the higher octane on our bikes will be better... and definitely do not wanna spill gas bro...

as long as you dont hear engine knocking, the fuel type doesnt matter. i think it's funny how many people dont know how to get gas on a bike. I still dont know what the confusion is...
givuhcky22 1 year ago
Check your owners manual and see what octane the bike needs. You may be surprised. If you use a lower octane and you don't get "pinging" your bike is probably fine with it. It's not worth spending the extra money for something you don't need. As for "paying first", find a gas station where you don't pay first. Fill up and just leave. LOL

super unleaded just makes sense, if your engine is made for it (it doesn't burn any better, it's just more resistand against engine knocking)or if you set up an earlier ignition point (then you can get more power from the engine-if it's not too early of course).
It has to be unleaded though if you've got a catalyst, because the lead is covering the metal surface of the cat.
Keita1792 1 year ago
I am running my Hornet on 95 octane rating fuel, and I drive a scooter also on 95.
Here, we don't even have 91, not to speak of 89 or 87.
This is a rating completely unknown in Europe.
Besides, in Europe, your first fill up your tank, and you pay afterwards.
And one other thing - you should not sit on your bike while filling it up. There should be a sign on your gas station. All Shell stations here have such a sign.

i think it's just one of those sue hazard signs... + what if you decide to back up for your 10¢ pencil you left in the office... or a picture of your family eh eh?
Either way in most buildings when a fire alarm goes off the elevators are automatically disabled (unless you have the fire key). Yah that's right I tried at 4:30 in the morning on the 15th floor of a marriott hotel. lol & Yes I have seen firefighters use the elevator during a fire. Most buildings are pretty strong.
lifeisgood070 1 year ago
:) Oh Man. That sooo reminded me how I was nervous to fill my bike for 1st time. I never did that before and there was no one to show me, even at the driving lessons. I was just hoping i will not make something stupid, like forgetting to pay, and attempt to leave, or somethin like that. Lickily, only embarassment was, that I realized, that I was unable to get my card off the wallet with my glowes on. :)

i have the exact same bike as u, and when i first filled it i didn't understand the whole inside gas cap concept thing so i ended up dowsing the outside of my gas tank (twice) and only filling the bike half way. ya, not very smooth. good vid though, wish i'd seen it before my first fillup.

Does your Fz6R really require 91 octane? My FJR requires only 'regular' 87. There is no advantage to using a higher octane gas than your engine requires. None whatsoever.

depending on the engine usually higher compression rate like 10:1 needs 91+. most of the morden bike is about 10:1 so 91+ would be necessary.
sunnyjason 1 year ago 4
it doesn't need the 91+. My 2009 Kawasaki Ninja 250R has a compression rate of 11.6:1 and they recommend using regular unleaded gas 87. It can damage the engine if you use 91+ fuel because of pre detination. The 91+ fuel burns easyer and sometimes may ignite before its supposed to while being compressed. But with the sport bikes its usually not a problem so its free to take whatever gas you want. In a car however with lower compression its just a waste of money and wear and tear
PaulRancourt18 1 year ago
@PaulRancourt18 No Paul, youve got that backwards. The higher grade fuel burns slower and keeps detonation from happening. The reason your bike doesnt need the higher grade fuel is because its designed to run on lower grade. Usually because timing is taken out but if you were to advance the timing or increase the compression ratio you would need a higher grade fuel.

Woodenchairs is right about something!
JimNtexas 1 year ago
@JimNtexas I do actually disagree with u on premium being totally useless. It has been proven to increase mileage, it does have superior cleaners mixed in, and it will avoid you losing any performance because of outside temp, deposits, or elevation causing your computer to pull timing because it senses detonation because of any of these things.

And BTW, I had Taco Bell for the first time ever today! It was good I had just practically a plain taco but it was good! I drank a bit of hot sauce straight from the packet :P its not that hot... its good! :) Amazing tacos! :O
PaulRancourt18 1 year ago
@PaulRancourt18 ok, when I was typing that I was thinking in terms of car engines but yea motorcycle engines can tolerate lower octane gas because the small pistons. burning speed is the same no matter higher or lower octane, its the detonation under pressure that makes it different. higher octane tend to harder to detonate under pressure so the mixed gas would burn when the spark plugs want it to. my CBR600rr is about 12.3:1 so 91+ is recommended.
