Did I Put in wrong octane? 93 vs 87
Hello to all,
I Bought a 89 CBr600f for 300 bucks from a friend and it was running great. By mistake I put in 93 octane and it started running like crap. I drained the tank and put 87 octane back in and tried running it through for a while. Now it wont start unless the choke is all the way down and even then if I try to accelerate it stalls. Did I do something to the plugs and should replace them or could it be something else? Thank you in advance...

110 octane would kill it! Well it probley wouldn't be good for the valves imho.
But all the 93 should have done was made it run a little rich. Have you been riding with the choke on? that would definatly foul the plugs. Maybe the fuel line got kinked when you drained it? Id also look at the fuel filter and see how dirty it is. Maybe even the petcock it a bit stuck. Hard to say.

dont think they make leaded gasoline at all anymore. But even if so it still wouldnt hurt anything. Its the other way around, in older engines designed to have lead in the fuel to help lube the valve stems running unleaded was bad
