Using extra premium fuel in a motorcycle may not provide any significant benefits over using the recommended fuel type. Most motorcycles are designed to run efficiently on regular unleaded gasoline, typically with an octane rating of 87 or 91, depending on the engine requirements.

Extra premium fuels usually have a higher octane rating, such as 93 or 95, which is primarily beneficial for high-performance vehicles with advanced engine technologies that require higher-octane fuel to prevent knocking or pinging. However, using extra premium fuel in a motorcycle designed for regular unleaded gasoline is unlikely to provide noticeable improvements in performance or fuel efficiency.

Furthermore, using higher-octane fuel than what is recommended for your motorcycle may not only be unnecessary but can also be more expensive. It's best to consult your motorcycle's owner's manual or contact the manufacturer to determine the appropriate fuel type and octane rating for your specific motorcycle model. Following the manufacturer's guidelines will ensure optimal performance and reliability.
