Hi Guys,

This has probably been debated many times.

I recently restored a 1980 XR250, been using 95 thus far, but lately I'm starting to doubt whether this is the right octane. The bike runs very well and no issues so far.

I'm situated in Gauteng. Only 93 and 95 are available.

Should I stick to 95 or go over to 93?
