what type of fuel do you guys/ girls run in your bikes? I've always ran 93 in mine, but my local gas station also sells like a CAM2 type racing fuel.

I know in cars, higher octane doesn't always mean power, do motorcycle's also go into " safe mode", when it detects higher octance like ECUs do?

It's a 1994 Honda CBR600 if it makes a difference.

 

ive always ran 93 in my bike until i looked at the manuel and it said 87 was fine. besides my pig is a guzzler so im running regular.

unless you have mods that need higher octane and your tuned for it your actually going to LOSE POWER!! and burn through more $$$

 

maybe it's just me, but I swear I can feel a difference....

 

It's just you.

 

I run 93.

 

87 in my F3 and F4i... never a problem.

 

87 always.

Except at the track...91!

Uhhh, YEAH. I have to save all my pennies for valve jobs.

 

87 in my F4i, 93 in my RC51 and 87 in my SV650. I do what the manual recommends, i've never gotten any knocking or pinging. My buddy runs 93 in his sv650 and gets worse gas mileage than me.
I know when i had my integra if i put in higher octane i got worse gas mileage and couldn't feel squat.
I finally advanced the ignition timing on the car and then it was actually necessary for me to run higher octane.

Well when you're pissing $$ away left and right on blingy vehicle payments, whats an extra few hundred bucks a year in gas

 

91, that's what it's supposed to run on.
