100 Octane At A Local 76 Station But,

[WuzzaCBXRider]

it's $7.859 a gallon! That's a helluva fill up. The pump reads: Racing gasoline, not a Union 76 product. Wonder if a gallon or two might be worth a try the next time I'm on empty...Wonder which bike would show more of a difference, my six carbed CBX or the Busa?

Oh ya that busa will like it guarantee!!!

 

[GNBRETT]

waste of money if ur otherwise stock. in fact, probably be slower.

I thought you couldn't run those high octane fuels unless the bike was tuned for it?

 

[nosbig]

You can run anything, it's how good the bike will run on it that's the difference.

Paid $2.29 today for 93, I'm good

9.40 a gallon for 104 at the track tonight ouch. 85 or 104 nothing else unleaded

On a stock bike, the only gains you'll see is the exhaust smells delicious.

Other then that, you'll lose HP due to the slower burn of the higher octane fuel.

Gen 1 is rated for 87. Gen 2 is 91, right?

Ditto on matching the octane to the manufacturer's rating. I remember a dyno comparison a long while back that showed the power drop with the higher (over-rated) octane.

87 is fine for gen 2.

 

[Boosted Cycle Perf]

87 is fine for gen 2.

Gen 2 compression is 12.5:1. Suzuki states in the manual, as well as the sticker on the tank that a minimum of 90 octane should be used.

Nonetheless, 87 octane is fine for the Gen 2.

I guess you know more then the people who designed and tested the engine...

 

[GNBRETT]

you sound stupid!

Not sure I see the need for insults. I recall awhile back Brock did a test on this and demonstrated 87 working the best. I don't have the time to search for it but I have plenty of dyno pulls and literally thousands of passes at the track on 87 octane that demonstrate it is fine.

I know enough to make my own decisions based on my experience (and other's). You can run whatever fuel you like but in my quest for every little bit of performance I can get I'm willing to try things and have found that 87 works great.

Go ahead and waste your $$$ on some 100 octane...be sure to let us know how crappy your bikes run on it lol
