Do you use Regular or High test? I've been using high test because it inhibits carbon accumulation better. 8)

Personally, I haven't seen regular since the early 80's. All we have is unleaded. In this area I believe it's available in 87, 89 and 93 octane. I just use 87 octane.
BTW, this board is for technical documents only. This post should be in the Rubber Side Down board.

High octane. 91-93 by current rating.
I have run a couple tanks of aviation fuel through my 98. The bike likes it, but, the high cost of av gas isn't worth it.

I like 91-93 octane premium fuel. My bike may not always NEED premium but there are times when engine temperature may get a bit high, due to weather or hard riding, and at those times premium is needed to avoid detonation.

Cheapest stuff I can get. Bike never complains. Only use super unleaded in the 99 supercharged mustang and the 65 Buick, as they would detonate on 87.

I have tried a bunch of them.
It will detonate some in the heat of summer no matter what is in there if it's hot enough, and for an extra quarter why not fill it premium.
Regular 87 octane runs fine in cooler weather.
I have noticed that in some areas ethanol is coming back as a blend. Alcohol can be harder on fuel delivery components, but w/ a 3 gal. tank. "beggars can't be choosers".

Doesn't matter what you run. Add some 2 stroke oil...or else.
Mikuni CV carbs aren't worth the hassle to remove and beat to pieces with a hammer.

--- 2 stroke oil or Marvel Mystery oil. I like the 2 stroke oil better. Mikuni CV carbs are junk! Get an Edelbrock carb from Lancer.

Castrol TTS - real lite dose - maybe 1/2-1oz every 300-500 miles (once week for me) must have a little perfume

I use the 93 octane along with the 104 octane boost additive. That bike really gets up and goes!!! The cars behind you will stay real far away when they see the backfire after you let off the throttle! Get a Jardine pipe and it's even better!!
