P.S. The reason why I posed it as a question is because I wasn't sure whether most of you knew that and I was in the minority or if everyone thought they were doing their bikes good with higher octane...
 
Hence oxygenated fuels...but of course those eat away at your motor so it's good to understand it before getting into it too much. I'm happy to know this stuff now!
 
is my preferred station, but they got rid of all the 94 here. But of course I don't miss it now that I know what's up!

They also sell CAM2 here, but only in select places like near the dragways etc.
 
So nobody to dispute or reinforce these claims huh? I didn't think peeps would be as stumped as me but I guess so...although it's counterintuitive I believe it and my bike feels great on 87. Not sure if it's better or if it's psychological, but it might just be so. I'll be running some Techron through it to clean it out too. By the way, if anyone is going to take my word for this (doubtful), the bike will probably not run great on Techron...but once it's burned through it should provide a noticeable difference if you've been running higher octane than you've needed to be.
 
NewDuc,
I am with you, use only as much octane as needed to pervent knock, the rest cost you power.

U4TM
Used in stock and modified 4-stroke applications, as well as stock 2-strokes. Makes up to 6% more power than pump gas and any basic nonoxygenated racing fuel. Passes fuel rules for AMA amateur racing, and is also perfect for club level racing, CCS, WERA and AFM.
 
Yes, I use it in my 900 Ninja pro hillclimb bike, for the 6% more power. and mix %50 with hi octane race gas for hi comp 2 strokes.
 
It's funny, were talking fuel additives which i started a thread about earlier
but no one wanted to discuss. The ones that did reply poo-poo'd the idea.
Anyway, here's some stuff i was wondering about, this example adds 37%
(claimed) oxygen to the fuel mixture.
