jet mech Posted January 24, 2007 Report Posted January 24, 2007 I have a VP dealer in town and he is trying to get me to run C12 it is a 108 (motor Octain?) leaded fuel. What do you guys think? I am running a stock '06 SE shee. I hope to see some of you at the '07 national BHQ ride out at Little Sahara 03/29/07- 04/01/07 if you don't know about it look at the ride forum it is gonna be sweet :thumbsup: Quote
dajogejr Posted January 24, 2007 Report Posted January 24, 2007 If you are running a stock shee, as in stock compression, stock timing, you are 100% wasting your money on race/high octane fuel,and may actually be hurting performance. Straight old out of the pump premium is more than fine for a bone stock motor...even one with a slight bump in compression and timing advance. More octane burns slower, so the motor does not pre-ignite...a stock or near stock motor is not even close to that unless the jetting is way lean...and even so higher octane won't solve that. Hope this helps. Quote
trueraiderfan Posted January 24, 2007 Report Posted January 24, 2007 Wow I had no clue. I just knew my builder told me to run av gas 100LL and had no clue why. Quote
dajogejr Posted January 24, 2007 Report Posted January 24, 2007 Wow I had no clue. I just knew my builder told me to run av gas 100LL and had no clue why. Cause you got timing and a shit load shaved off your motor... This user said stock...and that is him just wasting money on that bike, I feel!!! Quote
Rock-46 Posted January 25, 2007 Report Posted January 25, 2007 VP is good fuel. But I agree its a waste of $$ on a stock motor. Quote
hondasrslow Posted January 25, 2007 Report Posted January 25, 2007 VP is good fuel. But I agree its a waste of $$ on a stock motor. no performance gains but sure smells good :thumbsup: Quote
