Detination patch/cure
or call it what you like......
i trully do not believe that we are getting 93 octane at the pump. it is not used enough and goes "stale". when your out on the road and not getting fuel at your normal stop you never know what your getting.
i have been drag racing for over 20 years and know what detination can do to a motor. i have melted enough parts. A harley can be very sensitive to this.
when 2 up riding on my 09SG fully load saddle bags and tour pak i had some very noticable detination in the hills. well i was in a pak of buddys that ride a little on the aggresive side..lol so i pulled out the cure...(lucas NHRA octane booster) one bottle does 25 gal so do the division. it does not take much for 6 gal tank. detonation went away.
i have used this stuff over the past 3 years in my tow vehicle. 2001 suburban 1/2 ton 5.3 with a procharger building 8 lbs of boost. when i'm out on the road and pick up so "bunk" fuel i can tell right away. under boost it will clatter so freakin loud. put one bottle in the tank and detination is gone.
most of the so called octane boosters are just hype....
but LUCAS NHRA OCTANE BOOSTER trully works. $10 bucks at O'Rilleys
take it for what its worth guys...

yeah i put low octane in on accident once and used it, and it worked great, i hear zmax is good for valves also. seen it on horsepower tv, it is supposed to keep carbon off valves and keep them clean so you wont lose pressure but i never tried it yet.

no matter how you spell it... it will tear stuff up.
hammer bearings and slowly melt away pistons in naturally aspriated conditions. use some boost or N20 and the process is accelerated.
it does not matter if your bike is dynoed or not. when you get a tank of "bunk" fuel your screwed. unless you have instant access to a laptop or several settings to choose from on your programmer.

If the pump only has one hose you are getting a pump and hose full of the last gas pumped, which is probably regular. Add to that the engine see ethanol mix as a leaner mixture you can get detonation. We use "Rocket Fuel" in our higher compression engines.

Well we are on the Lucus Products. I talked with them in Daytona for Bike Week. I drove my 08 Dodge Ram w/Hemi from UpState NY to Daytona pulling a 14' Haulmark trailer. Got 9.5 MPG, I tried there fuel additive Tune up that works on Gas and Deisel motors, and I averaged 11.1 going home. I honestly felt that my truck ran better, and did not down shift as much either. I think that this stuff does some good.
On a side note, I am not a dealer, I don't sell it, and I have never tried util now.
