whats the best gas to use?? are leaded fuels harmful or good? i have access to c16, 104, 100...pretty much everything and wondering whats the best way to go....mods include akrapovic full system, pcIII, bmc race filter, velocity stacks...
No, you're an idiot. Leaded fuel will gunk up your engine and really mess it up.HPfreak said:so i guess c16 full leaded....sounds good

The higher the octane absolutely does not mean the better. Our bikes require no more than 86 octane to run perfectly. 86 is recomended by Honda.
Go to search and type in "octane".

So your saying we dont have to always use 93 or "Premium" gas in our bikes?
if you think it helps, then use the highest octane you can find. the manual states 87 so the engineers that honda pays must be wrong. the millions of dollars in R&D must of been a waste of money. it's your money, do what you want.HPfreak said:currently i use 100 no lead, and i have had to put 93 in it before and it feels like ass compared to the 100...in cars at the drag strip you can see up to 2mph on your e.t. just from using c16...so im not an idiot, thats why i asked.
HPfreak said:its leaded 117 if your using vp....and as for tuning...cars tuned with pump gas see the increase in mph....if the car was tuned on race gas and always used race gas there would be no improement...
yes, you are right.. the bike will run funny if you use anything less than 100 octanes..HPfreak said:i build race cars...not bikes...this is my 1st bike...good enough answer??
