95 octane on its own just makes the bike run pretty average and detonates a little and i use motul 5100 10w40

DETONATING CAN BE FROM OTHER THINGS NOT JUST GAS LIKE CARBON DEPOSITS ,OR IGNITION TO ADVANCED , BP HAVE 98 OCTANE AT THE PUMP

My 7litre (429 cubic inch) V8 is 11:1 compression, it will only run any good on avgas or 98(and even then it's not as good as the old leaded super).

Cold plugs, ram-air and a richer mixture helped - but I still need 98+ octane.

Everything ya wanker - it's MADE from those old V8's.

And your 'recycled V8' into 'modern jap single' wouldn't be doing 125,000 miles + unless said V8 carried it on its deck!!

A JAPANESE motorbike single in 1917?

I still dont see the connections between V8s and modern japanese singles. Would they not have evolved from previous motorcycle design?

Bah humbug ^_^

Mr. N. Shimazu built what is generally considered to be the first motorcycle ever built in Japan in 1909

In 1912 MSA (Miyata Small Arms - odd that) supplied the Asahi (morning sun) single cylinder motorcycle of their own design and constructio n to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.
It was a 3.5 (RAC) hp 4 stroke single.so, a 500cc. 480 yen it cost. A lot then
The Nihon powered by a 250cc cast iron single cylinder engine cost only 200 yen.

Sorry , Tim

EDIT: Incidentally, Meguro, the manufacturer who produced the Meguro K1 A10 "clone" a fabled wonder spoken of in hushed whispers in the 60s, first made motorcycles in 1909. Single cylinder ones.

Well I am riding a GSX 250 and have been puting 91 it as most of the time I am only commuting. Going to Bp and filling it with 98 is that going to cause problems or go better? would it need a bit of a tune for the difference or are these happy with anything you throw in them??
