i used to think that running 98 in my bike would be better for it performance wise
which it would be if the compression ratio was say 10.8 or higher
but it only 9.5 so it will actually perform better on 91
but anyways from what ive been made aware the servos dont get any higher than 98 oct but yes it will be leaded fuel

your engine will run best on 91... 96 is the same shit but with more shit aditives.
Your engine will be most happy with 91 but it will deteriat a lot faster than if using 98 imported, how ever we never keep bikes longnuff to worry bout the fouling up etc that NZ shit fuels do, so the expence of 98 isnt warinted.

However the likes of me with big block airheads and high compresion (Buell, Guzzi) the bikes are not happy on 91 or 06, they pink and run like shit so I need to use 98 and/or an oct aditive.

yeah i do know the fuels are crap
i know the performance droped a bit when they changed leaded to unleaded ,i could feel it in my car at the time

you will need a higher performance fo rthe bikes your running .
Whats a good octane booster for in my bike ,its stock standard other than the aftermarket exhaust ....bandit 1200

Is there something that will be better ,and that wont damage the engine
Or just use 91

91 should be fine in your bike even tho air cooled. If it pinks on the hotter days then you could try Nulon Pro Strenth, it lubes the valves and seating etc aswell, however it aint cheap.
