I have an odd question. I have been trying to answer this question for a while with the use of the internet with little success.
I am trying to figure out what octane to use. I was using 87 when my FZ6 was stock with no problems. I added the scorps on and I had went to a 92 octane due to the relieved back pressure making the bike run lean. The 92 octane of course was to try and compensate for the lean air/fuel mixture. Recently i got a PCIII for the bike (THANK GOD FOR THAT DEVICE) and got the bike back to a proper air/fuel mixture. Although with the mixture back up to par, do I (or at least can I) go back to a 87 octane? I would like to get a decent fuel-mileage and i know 87 octane will give me more power. I am just concerned with the bike having pre-ignition and ultimately having the spark plug turn into a torch-cutter in the higher rpms.
Anyone have any answers either from experience and/or tests?
Thank you,
Travis Walthall
