I swear that on my tail section (subframe) there is a sticker that says 91 octane minimum, am I wrong? (02f4i)

I've read that unless you've done engine mods to change the timing or compression ratio your engine runs best at whatever octane the engineers designed it to run on. I know there's sometimes the placebo effect when using higher octane. This was an automotive study but I suspect the same conclusions could be applied to internal combustion motorcycle engines. |
