99 Octane fuel (octane / power insight)
 

Yes please just found it on sale at the local Tesco. Noticed a big difference especially as the previous fuel in the tank had been bog standard unleaded. I also got an extra miles out of a tank full, 120 miles up to 130 That’s the stuff for the DD bike then. Does anyone know of a higher rated fuel on the high street?

If only life was that simple....:

well, the experiment that AK did on the bikes was quite informative on the dyno, so we are sticking with the 99 octane:)

If your bike is set up to take advantage of high octane fuel it's worth it :)

Only today was discussing this with an off-road racer. He heard of octanes upto 150!!! Some help, some do damage. As cc above says, your bike has to be setup for it.

I always used to use shell's optimax, but if there's more power out there to be had I want it. I believe Avgas - aviation fuel is 100 octane

The hand book just gives a min of 95 says nothing about max.

Yeh, used avgas on a KX250, but mainly to help the pistons, as it has loads of lead in it.

I do use Optimax on the 900ss as much as possible, but it doesnt make any difference to the R1.
