RE: Octane rating on new bike
The "fuel" is the same...the burn rate is slower on the higher octane (additives are different) Dyno results show that higer octane can give you less horsepower within the same motor group...I got this info from another BBS that had a chemical engineer as a member. This guy tried three different ocatane grades, and hooked up with a dealership to dyno his bike...89 octane won hands down...of course... this was a low compression engine that didn't require the slower burn rate.
