c7fx Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 octane is only needed for pre-ignition(dieseling) Running it in a motor that doesn't need high octane will actually give you lower Hp. You want better performance look for fuel with a higher distillation curve.I usually ran 89 in my r6 and it gave the best performance on the track and in my pocketbook. It was more important to find the right gas station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfvb1225 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 (edited) Unless your warranty requires premium fuel you're also wasting money on it over regular. Reason being premium fuel stays in the stations tanks longer and loses octane over time.And, if you can run regular in your engine without knocking, premium fuel has no advantage even if it were fresh.http://www.consumerenergycenter.org/transportation/consumer_tips/regular_vs_premium.htmlhttp://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=fact-or-fiction-premium-g Edited April 22, 2012 by jfvb1225 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

street pilot Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 What all is done to your bike? Ignition advance? Fuel management? Flashed ECU?Without knowing this information it cannot be determined if you would benefit from a higher octane fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
