Also The new engines in!!!! Just a few more things to do and then verrrom!

Reving almost any engine to it's limit will increase oil usage. Doesn't matter if it is air or water cooled. The GZ was not designed to be wrung out for a long period of time. Unless you can do an engine swap every few hours like a racing team you should probably travel a bit slower.

Water Warrior yes taht is true but I think its more of a problem for our motors with burning oil then say my moms toyota that redline at about 6500rpm. And all you said is fully true its sad I had to learn the hard way about beating the litttle gz to death I will and plan to drive slower from now on (I was just runing late and when you go 100kph it does take about 20min longer to get to school.) I still plan on running everything I own pretty hard every bike and car but I will take greater care with my bikes from now on thank you guys!

I think the Toy would use some oil too if wrung out to redline for an extended length of time. My Vstrom will use a bit of oil at higher RPMs. But I consider high RPMs as 7000 to redline..........10,500. The rev limiter kicks in at 11,000 RPMs. Not a true sport bike engine but still very entertaining in the twisties in 4th and 5th gears. 6th gear is for loafing along with highway traffic.

No to 91 octane. Just pour in 87 octane. Just make sure to use a top tier gas like shell, esso, chevron and be happy. For bolts just go with standard bolts and use thread ease so they don't get totally bonded to the aluminum. Unlike metals tend to do that. And be careful tightening the bolts, you do not want to pull the aluminum threads out.

i think i remember reading not to put any thing higher than 87 octane in the gz or it will run like crap. not sure how true that is but i only used 87 and it ran fine.

I've used all 3 grades of gas. The only difference I noticed was at the cash register, and not the bike.
