Race gas will block the cat and damage the 0xy sensor if it still has lead in it, stick with the higest gas rating gas you can get at the pump. I think NZ race gas and aviation fuel still have lead in them .... but could be wrong.

True about the oxy sensor... but I'd avoid 95 and use 91 as theses fuels are the same shit but 95 has more shit in it.Originally Posted by Titanium
BP98 I'd reconmend (duno what else is available up north)
Yes Avgas has lead in it and race fuel is stail Avgas.

Humph not sure how to take comment tbh. The thread was about is it worth it ? as I was just wondering as im not use to race fuel being sold at certian fuel stations thats all.
The bikes a Blade ffs - its not as if its slow is it now ?
Any way cheers for the replies guys...

you can get a bigger performance gain by learning to ride the arse off it than you will from any fuel
sometimes the farmboy makes sense (not often though)

DONT mix it!!! It will settle out as it has a lighter specific gravity. Run it straight or don’t bother. It will not harm the motor and it will give you a slight power increase. Who runs a CAT on their bike anyway? It’s mainly used for aviation purposes as the old piston engines need the extra grunt at altitude and the lead looks after the valve seats and keeps the fuel from going stale. My old 1100 loved the stuff; smooth idle good power response etc. Bike engines….even blade’s are high performance high compression engines and require a high octane fuel to work at their best. Bring back SUPER 98, you could look at the pipe after a ride and see if it was running right.you can get it at the Challenge outside pukekohe race way. was $2.09/L

Yeah I expect it would have loved it... you say "OLD" 1100 I asume we are talking about a old higher comp carberated air head??? if so then I agree it would love it as do my older bikes do, mainly in the mid range and starting... thats only due to the fuel being a much higher quality standard over the shit we get at the pumps.
A lot of bikes do actually... mostly imported bikes, BUT thats not the issue... Oxy sencers are, lead will root em quick as and as they are a much needed part of an injection system, best ya dont ues Av
IIRC a mix of Av and 91 is a good thing... lead is a natural octain booster so the lead in the Av will raise the oct in the 91, which is a beter thing than the shit they put in the unleaded fuels.
The fuels will only settle over time... like everything does.
Yeah... even I understood thatyou can get a bigger performance gain by learning to ride the arse off it than you will from any fuel

I went and watched Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift last night.. (now before any one red reps me, I'll get to my point).. there was a drag chopper (kinda looked like a harley glide (the one with 2 petrol tanks), but instead of petrol tanks, it had 2 NOS bottles.. I wonder what a blade would look like/go running an extremely high mixture of nitrous oxide..

Are you nine? An Ex had a CG110, does that count?
Waaahoo, I like shopping at Woolworths, the food is much better than erm, one of the almost identical brands.

My point was that Av gas is not really race fuel. Certainly not for std compression bikes.
Didn't know Elf sold production formula Oxygenated racegas here. Thought they sold other varieties of Racegas that would only really suit modified bikes.
VP12 was another some brought in for GP bikes if they were keen.
Not that Ive had the need to buy it as cant run it in Bouquets. But there was a prat who did one year & he had the compression cranked ridiculously high. Almost made your eyes water following though.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

Yeah I get the bit about riding better .... but Bio is not exactly slow.......you can get a bigger performance gain by learning to ride the arse off it than you will from any fuel
