badshee1998 Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 does ocatane boost make your bike run hotter then just ur regular mixed gas? also what is the normal operating temperature for a banshee in kansas? one more thing, is there a way of making a homemade temp gauge for the bike, the good ones are sooo dang expensive! help me out fellas.. thanks..

Fireroad Express Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 if your bike requires a higher octane fuel, i wouldn't use octane boost. they make race fuel for a reason. adding too much octane boost will make your engine work like a POS. i tried it in an old bike i had when i was a kid,not knowing any better. and as i remember the bike did over heat, cause the oct.boost leaned out the fuel/air ratio. octane boost = form over function!

TwistedSheeRida Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 Don't use the octane boost i put some in my bike last summer, the klotz, didn't even put much in it ran and smelled good but a couple rides later i was doing a top end rebuild Quote
DopeyTripod Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 just clean out your boost bottle. I did mine and now I have about 10 more HP!!!!!! I swear to god I do man. Quote

TwistedSheeRida Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 different strokes for different folks!! lol i really don't think you'll notice the difference with that stuff your better off going with some av fuel or VP race gas Quote
quadbasher Posted February 24, 2009 Report Posted February 24, 2009 just mix race gas with 93 octane.... Quote
official_style Posted February 24, 2009 Report Posted February 24, 2009 octane boost sucks. my boy ran it in his 20g talon like a dumbass and it fucked his shit up big time. Quote
