    I have a 1985 XJ 700 X Maxim.
    Should I use leaded or unleaded fuel. I was told to use regular gasoline but am not sure if that is leaded or unleaded.

    Sorry that the first two dont work. Go to the second page on the third one. The links work on my previous post.

    Regular gas = leaded.

    You've listed Abu Dhabi as your location, so I'm guessing that you can still get non-racing leaded gas.

    If you can get it at normal octane levels (90ish), I doubt it would hurt your engine.

    My original sticker in my cover actually calls for leaded. i have been running unleaded for 2 years of multiple octane levels in a 50 mile a day bike and have never had a problem.
