I go to the track pretty often with my buddies and we always stop off at the station right before the track. They sell 100 at the pump and they alway top of with it. I ride a 07 streetglide, pciii, intake, and thunderheader 2-1. Could it hurt my e/t by using 100 instead of 93? I know its a geezer glide but it scoots for what it is and its fun.Thanks, by the way im in south florida 80 degree 50% humidity nights. Thanks

 

Yes, no problem. I run a tank full of turbo blue in mine a couple times a year. I like the smell of the jet fuel....LOL

 

you're wasting your money if you put it in a stock bike. You'd have to bump your compression up quite a bit to need 100. A stock bike (I think 8.9:1 CR) would probably be fine on 87 or 89.

 

i bet it sure makes the inside of the pipes pretty white

 

I did the same in the past. Race fuel leans your bike out, enough to hurt your bike, I dont think. Other than the great smell of the fumes, you are wasting your money.

 

100 octane is a waste of money for your appication!

 

Your performance will be better with a lower octane.

 

6 out of 7 of the above answers are correct. You do not have the compression to support the 100 octane fuel. You'll probably lose on your ET. Your motor is not "programmed" for the highly oxiginated racing fuels. Go to the VP website and research the fuels that are offered, leaded and unleaded. 93 will be just fine.

 

Octane is a burn IHIBITOR. A higher level of octane is needed for high compression engines to prevent spontaneous (without and before spark) combustion.

Gasoline companies disingenuously market higher octane gasoline as being of a better quality so they can charge more for it. The quality choice is made by the brand of gasoline you buy.

Think of an octane rating like you would a shoe size. If a size 10 tennis shoe fits you, is an 11 better?

 

bigger shoes mean bigger feet and we know what bigger feet mean.... so ya, i buy a couple sizes bigger shoes.....
