I've noticed through different conversations about the somewhat unavailability of higher octane fuel. To my friends across the pond, my friends across the other contintent that's across the pond and to my brothers south of me, what are you guys running for fuel?
In Canada for high test, pretty much every station carries between 92 to 94 octane.Generaly you have three choices at each station, 88 - 90 - 92 or 94. I've always ran the highest octane I can get and I know at times when I'm supposed to be pumping 94, I'm actualy getting 87 or 88 because the bike is non responsive, pings, and runs like crap. The US is especialy famous for this at a lot of their last chance gas stops. The number of times I've figured I've had an engine problem until I've done a re-fill. There is a world of difference in the performance of our machines depending on the gas you use.
Another novelty we have is ethanol gas made out of grain alchohol. Despite the high octane.....ungood!!!
So boys.....let me know about your octane.
