RE: AV GAS

I used av-gas (100LL) in my 4mil stroker long rod 2 stroke 88hp (stock was 36) Yamaha Banshee built for the sand drags/ duning. I used to run VP110 but when the price went to $6.50 a gal, I lowered my compression from 210 to 185lbs in each cylinder to run the $3.15 aviation fuel. A lot ofbuilders in the sand scenemake claims about additives in av-gas put there to "keep in the heat" or "its made for higher altitudes and slow turning constant RPM engines" but after retuning for itI never had any issues for the rest of the season due to my fuel (grenaded 2 motors last year but definitely was not do to the fuel in it) Long story short if you don't have the compression to take advantage of a higher octane fuel the only thing making you go faster isNewton's second law the law of acceleration (you are moving faster now only because your wallet is lighter.)

RE: AV GAS

If you want to try something worth trying, if you are running above stock compression, try some race gas. It smells yummy too.

RE: AV GAS

Probably would kill or shorter the 02 sensor life.This fuel doesnt have the knock qualitys of pump gas and could make bike not perform as well.Some of this fuel may degrade seals or rubber products on your bike.
