what kind of petrol to use?

[hens_p]

I wonder if they beef up the electrical system on the KLR for all the lights, etc. or they just let the batteries and stuff get eaten. Pat

Go BP all the way - we have an inside line on developments currently under way - reliable source as it is a relative on the research team. Additives are being researched for better fuel economy and cleaner burning engines Also additives for cleaning off deposits, so no more decokes. Also I managed to suggest they investigate "Carb Icing" )) They seemed quite eager to use that as a potential selling point, as bikers are notoriously picky over which fuel brand to use in the UK. Even if there are just over a million of us, it makes us a small but essential market , as what goes in the bikes goes in the cages as well.
