Essential Fuel Care for Long Lasting Performance

Honda recommends using standard fuels such as SP95, SP98, or SP95-E10 to maintain the machine’s best performance. A fuel stabiliser should be added when storing fuel for more than a few weeks, helping preserve freshness and prevent engine issues. Fuel should be kept in sealed containers, stored away from heat and sunlight, and used within one month unless stabilised. When the machine will not be used for extended periods, the fuel tank should be drained following instructions found in the user manual.
