I allways use 98 or E5.

 

Go to any small town airport and buy 100LL if you think you need it.

 

 

You should pull a hill going past everyone in high gear, now that's living!
Loaded, two up and heavy!

 

 

Don't you just love when you're filling up your scoot with the proper octane and someone tells you that you should be using super because it's "better performance"? Then you see those same people putting regular in their autos....lol!

I no longer try to explain it and just shrug my shoulders.

I use mid grade in my stage II and she purrs like a kitten. Have the dyno to prove it.

Little seafoam every few fill ups just for peace of mind.

 

Modifying my old Evo is very satisfying.
If I bought a new bike it would not do anything this one won't unless I was into all the hi-tech electric crap.
(which I am not)
The money I would spend on a new bike just goes into the old bike.
I suppose i have 4K in my top end.
Every winter I do/try something different.
4 K is a dam cheap motorcycle!
Plus I have run away from a lot of Twinks ...That is satisfying on my part.
I am 66 and still have a competitive Hot Rod heart!

 

Yea I guess you do. LOL I only paid a little over 4K for my bike. Obviously didn"t buy it new. Only had 14K on it. Thought about a big twin to take momma on, but not sure how long of a ride she will want to take, and the sporty is fine for shorter rides.

I might just try lower octane gas and see whut huppens. I would hate to hear the dreaded ping. CA gas is like a box of chocolates, ya never know what you're gonna get. Humm, that is a catchy phrase, I ought to repeat it.

 

Oh and I happened to notice the other day, on the Vance n Hines Fuel Pak III web site, they have a CA model of it that does not alter CARB specs, so pretty worthless IMHO. Unless I could snag one from elsewhere......
