has anyone tried using 110 octane fuel?

[VermilionX]

how is it?

is it really that good?

[Andrew]

where would you get 110 octane fuel?

[ZooTech]

Sunoco sells it. It's called "Super Blue".

Verm, your bike isn't even remotely set up to utilize it, so please just stick with premium.

im not saying i'll use it... i was just wondering since i saw it at the tracks.

geez...

i understand though why you assumed i'll use it.

it would be a complete waste of money unless you bump up the timing/compression a bunch.

The only thing higher octane fuel does for you is allow you to run your engine at higher compression levels.

Octane has nothing to do with the performance of the actual fuel apart from preventing self-ignition. 110 octane fuel in an engine designed for 95 octane gives zero performance benefit.

On the Dyno you can get up to 5HP gain on a 600 with race gas but it's really not worth it if your not on the track. And you bike has to be tunend with it to really make a difference.

110 is just race gas. It might be leaded, I was on a vintage modafied pit crew and that is what we used, Unless you are making massive compression (above 12 to 1) you really dont need it. The race car was squeesing 13.5 to 1 so Ya the compression was up there. It has a really distinctive smell to it as well.I followed a hayabusa today that was done up as a drag bike and that is what he was running.

[VermilionX]

yeah... like i said, i was just curious if the price is worth it if you have a bike that can benefit from it.

my bike's compresion ratio is only 12.5: 1

ypu can get 100 at the pumps at some places in the states cant you?
