+1_JOE_ said:Octane is simply the ability to resist detonation. Like Julien said, if it's not pinging it should be fine. I've always run premium in all my bikes because it only costs an extra dollar to fill the can and it's cheap insurance. Detonation can be really hard on the engine.
gwcrim said:If you are running a higher octane than the engine is dialed in for, you actually lose power.
gwcrim said:I'm not saying that using more octane hurts anything. But if the engine compression and timing is optimized to run 82 octane pump swill, don't you think that using a less volatile fuel would change it's power output some?
OLHILLBILLY said:I've always understood that higher octane gasoline just burned a little slower than lower octane fuels making pre-ignition (ping) harder to happen. Thus the dirty combustion on the Busa motors using higher than required octane fuel.
A mind and a book left closed are the same thing.... worthless.OLHILLBILLY said:So I guess the question now would be, "do we know any more than we did before?"
In my case at least, the answer would be, "no".

Did I say YOU were worthless? No I believe I said that a closed mind is worthless which it is, much like the value of a book is only there when it has been opened. The original form is a Chinese proverb "A closed mind is like a closed book just a block of wood." so I guess if you feel better being a block of wood then feel free to superimpose that on to yourself. I realize it's always much easier being a martyr but if you decide to offend everyone else and try to make me weep in the corner feel free to do so, I'll be napping on the couch try to make up for all the sleep I'm sure I'll lose over your comments. :laugh:OLHILLBILLY said:So now I'm worthless.
I'll not offend everyone else and get into trouble on the board describing what I think of you.
