Questions about BRP and E10
Can my BRP use E10 petrol?
BRP lists which motorcycles can use E10. Check your model and year in the list below.
What if I put E10 in an older BRP?
A single tank in a non-approved motorcycle will not cause damage, according to UK government advice. Fill up with E5 next time and keep using E5.
Where do I find E5 for my BRP?
In the UK, E5 is sold as the "super" or "premium" unleaded grade (97+ octane) at most larger filling stations. Check the E5 label on the pump.
How else can I check my BRP?
Look for an E10 label inside the fuel filler flap, check the owner's handbook, or ask a BRP dealer.
