I did not see this in the tech tips so I'll ask. I love to run race gas for many reasons (throttle response, burns clean, etc.) However, if you go on a three day ride in the middle of nowhere, you probably won't be able to buy race gas in the area. I've heard that adding a little octane booster to premium pump gas makes the pump gas very similiar to race gas. Comments and suggestions please ????
Thanks

Unfortunately that isn't true. You can get a small octane increase through the use of octane boosters, but the characteristics of race gas that you enjoy will NEVER be replicated this way.
agitt73, do you know much about aviation fuel? I as because i have easy access to it, but heard one time that the characteristics of avgas are hard on most engines. I don't know enough to know if this is true, but would like to be sure before I put it in my bikes. Any reliable info would be greatly appreciated.
