hey there
does anyone know where (if possible)i can get avgas and for how much?
ive noticed a significant difference between 91 and 98 so i just want to be stupid about it and try avgas. any ideas on this?

maybe i should have mentioned-
the bike oveheated and need the internals redone. so its been bored out and stuff by the last owner. i also took the snorkle out of the airbox and it sounds mint. im thinking of putting a pod filter in and attaching a yoshimura carbon fibre exhaust system.

THIS BIKE NEEDS SOME THRASHING!!

Won't do anything, just your imagination.

It's made for 91 and it doesn't have compression to make use of higher. All in your head I'm afraid.

and if someone did have a bike with the high comp and set it up accordingly, where would one get good gas? I know the bp on the way out to taupo race track has it, but where in auckland?

You'll be able to buy it at the aeroclub... But it's crap gas, full of lead to stop detonation on those old 1950 technology Lycoming and Continental engines.

Your Honda wont like it... its made to run on unleaded. :cool:

No no don't listen to them, It'll be awesome. Probably another 8-15hp guaranteed & you can take that to the bank. Should make it a real wheelie monster.

Fuck yeah, what he said. Take the airbox off too, it'll be awesome bro.

Challenge Pukekohe sells 120 Octane Racegas, I put $20 in the boat now and then, especially after winter to raise the octane in the underfloor tank.

Str8 makes a good argument, no point pissing around. Best to Blueprint it. Think that's something architects do. Try the yellow pages. Also polish the head. Solvol always makes a good job & should make it blingy to boot.

You lot are noobs, take the fly wheel off.

i have some spare power band you can add to your cams, free if you want them.

Raises an interesting question though. What fuel do you guys run?

I have always run 98 where possible, 95 if it's the only thing on offer.
I suppose being carby and not high compression it doesnt really matter, but I prefer the good stuff =D

What do you run your $2000 beasty on?

I've always run my cars on 98 or 95, and they have better response and better mileage for doing so.

I really irks me when I see people rocking up to the gas station with hi po vehicles and they pump in 91, especially in summer when they tend to ping.

Bikes I guess are a different story

I've never had knocking or pinging from running anything on with 91.
I've heard stories of better milage with higher octane, but still not convinced.

I always worry about people with high performance and high compression motors that haven't got a knock sensor.

No, the sensor normally just lights up.....

I run mine on 91 aye, but I always keep the headlight fluid topped.

Not all the time, I've driven Gen3 V8 Holdens that felt massively underpowered. Turns out, when on 91 unleaded you're running 160kw@the treads, 20-30kw down on a healthy one on 98. Because the knock sensor goes spastic and retards the timing :facepalm:

It's not a matter of good or bad, it's a matter of slow burning vs fast burning. You actually want the lowest octane rating without detonation. But hey, feel free to piss your money away on something your bike may not be taking advantage of.

Yes you can hear it when it detonates. Most likely to happen at low rpm under lots of load and when it's hot.

With stock (low) compression you will not see benefits from a high octane fuel.

Oh! Take the fuel tank off too, allows more air flow to the carbs,
and keeps the flux capacitor at a steady level.

Bikes dont have fly wheels? you dont need them..


i have some spare power band you can add to your cams, free if you want them.

Make sure you use the blue power band for a 125, or you will blow the boost controller..

Any flux with that?
As above.

bunch of cunts!
Dont player hate the 125, go buy the fastest ninja..
