Originally posted by Pa Kat View PostOh, it's okay, just a MASSIVE waste of money. I've found that both of my Kats run BETTER on 87. I'm sure others will chime in with more technical reasons, but trust me, just stick with the 87 octane. I tried 92 octane, if it wasn't for the cost of it, I would have poured it along side the road where the bike started acting like ****. Rode it out 'till I got home, put the stuff in my lawn mower and put a tank of 87 in.

Lols....they are full of it if that's what they think. Fouling plugs because their carbs are out of whack. Kat's are designed to run on 87 octane. Unless you build the **** out of the motor, there is no reason or benefit to running anything higher.
Hell, my fuel injected 2009 FZ6 is spec'd for 87 octane also.

Originally posted by BadfaerieI love how the most ignorant people I have met are the ones that fling the word "ignorant" around like it's an insult, or poo. Maybe they think it means pooOriginally posted by soulless kaosbut personaly I dont see a point in a 1000 you can get the same power from a properly tuned 600 with less weight and better handeling.

The really tricky thing about it is that the detergents burn slower than gas, effectively raising the octane of the fuel mix. The fuel depot can mix detergents into lower octane fuel to raise the octane level and the marketing department takes over from there, labeling it "premium" and selling you on the idea that it's better for your engine since it's higher octane (associated with high performance/high compression engines) AND cleans your engine.

I know that everywhere I've ever lived, a learner's permit still requires you to have a licensed rider, usually someone over 21 riding with you. I guess the idea is that you should have a mentor/coach handy to help you learn safely. After all, the whole point of a learner's permit is to give you a chance to learn how not to be a menace to yourself or others. For a little while, I'd suggest you pick your riding times based on traffic. The fewer distractions you have, the more you can concentrate on controlling the bike. Don't rush it. Focus on those skills that will keep you alive before putting yourself in a situation where you're going to really need them.
...dang, I sound old, huh? Won't be too much longer before my oldest will be learning to drive.

One thing about riding with friends is that no one cares about that someone is a "rookie". We were all at one point in time; i mean its not like we wake up one morning, buy a bike and take it out knee down out of the dealer. Me and my friends welcome new riders to our little wolf pack, better break them in right rather than reading about them in the paper.
