Talking 104 octane boost

i had a thought this weekend--no one get scared,i have those from time to time---back in the day i used to use a product called 104 octane boost-would it be a bad thing to use it in a bike ? i have a 2002 cbr 600 f4i.i didnt know if it would mess with the injectors or not. when i used to use it in my chevelle it had a carb of course-any thoughts fellas ? maybe they dont even make it anymore.

There really wouldn't be any point in using it. More octane doesn't equal more power, it can actually equal less power because the higher the octane, the slower the fuel will burn. The only time more octane is require is when you are experiencing pre-ignition. So as long as your using the octane that is recommended, your at your optimum octance level. You want to be as low of an octane that you can safely run for maximum power.

unless your running a high compression motor , youll see no benifit , will it hurt ?--dought it. if you need a fuel treatment use seafoam fuel additive, otherwise there is no power-in-a-can.

Pre-ignition, hard starts when its warm, no improvement in power.
