just wondering, cuz one of my coworkers said they have a stocker, and they run race gas and it makes a nice improvment, i was wondering if it's worth it., and it's like 8 bucks a gallon over here so i didn't know if i wanted to spend that extra, cuz reg pump prem is like 3.00$ right now, it's went down a little, was ilke 3.30
did i mention my co worker was a girl...makes sence, she probly heard it somewhere and just started doing it.......i should start doing her, nice fakies up front.....i was like, nice bolt on's!!!
If it was me, I would not buy race fuel for a bike that is not heavily modified. If the bike had a high compression piston, port and polish, new cam, etc, then it would be wise to run race fuel.
When I was at the Rock Springs dunes in Wy there was a really fast "stock" bike that was supposedly running 85 octane. He said that at higher elevation you don't even need 91 with stock internals. In fact he said that he drags faster with lower octane fuel. I have have always put 91 in my machine, but I was wondering what you guys thought.

I have always heard if you run too high an octane you can actually do engine damage, and supposedly the engine runs a lot hotter. I have never run anything above supreme.
