RE: Sprint ST Turbo!



No not really.  I would change the oil more often then specified.  Turbos
put a lot of heat into the oil making the oil suffer.  Other than that and
the fuel additive that's it.  By the way run as high of an octane rating as
you can but don't use aviation fuel.  I think an octane boost from your
local parts store should suffice.

Side question, does any body run leaded fuels in the ST's?

Thanks a lot for your info!  I think I remember reading that it uses 99
octane gas.  What kind of gas mileage does a Turbo ST get?

It doesn't sound like it is your run of the mill kind of bike.  I am not
very familliar with Turbo charged engines.  Do they require special care?
