Fuel/ octane

[Neville Lush]

Hi folks. here is a couple of interesting pics. The piston which is dirty is from an injected bike which has done approx 7500kms on our 91 oct regular fuel. The clean piston is from a carburetted bike(should run dirtier right?) with 38000kms on the clock and has been run on our 98. This is one reason why I recommend folk to use the 98 in their bikes even though the manual says you can use reg fuel...

Ok WOW - that's interesting alright, Ill be changing - Especially if I get some more compression...

Great comparative pics. It's enough to make me change up to 98.

Will now sit back, put my feet up and watch the octane comments roll in ............................. oh, and pour myself a Rum or 3 ........

I've done near 90,000 on 91 might be a bit late now

I think it may need one .I did run 98 for a short until I read the manual .when I think about I used to get better kms to the litre with 98 but was more expensive overall in running costs.like in most cases I do things my way and then use the manual if needs be

MMm, I have some special tins of compression available currently too.... If you buy three you get a RAMAIR thrown in )
