Why We Do Not Recommend Refueling with Pertalite Gasoline

Pertalite is the most popular and cheapest fuel in Indonesia with a low octane number (90), intended for low-income segments of the population. It is not suitable for modern engines.

Why is Pertalite a bad choice?

• May cause engine pollution

• Increased fuel consumption

• Reduces engine power and lifespan

✅ Honda and Yamaha manufacturers recommend an octane number of 91+ (i.e., Pertamax and above).

For example:

🔹 Honda PCX (160cc) – no less than 93 (Pertamax Plus or Pertamax Turbo)

🔹 Yamaha (160cc+) – 91+, meaning at least Pertamax

🔥 Pertamax is more expensive, but more economical!

✔️ Clean fuel combustion, engine runs more steadily

✔️ More economical – lower consumption per km

✔️ Extends the bike's lifespan

🏍 Balimotion recommends refueling bikes with only Pertamax fuel or higher. This ensures our customers have reliable, trouble-free transport.

The rented bike will be delivered to you with a tank that is half full or more with the appropriate fuel. This saves you from having to immediately search for the nearest gas station with a flashing fuel indicator. Instead, you can head straight out on your adventure!😉
