Im about to put in the first tank of fresh gas that this thing has seen in a while and I have no idea what the previous owners ran through it.
When I drained the tank after purchasing, the gas was BRIGHT yellow (think highlighter) not sure what that was all about but I decided I can’t go wrong just starting fresh.
Local stations only go up to 93 octane but I also have an option to use 87 octane ethanol free. The 87 ethanol free is $1.23 more per gallon than the 93.
My current idea is to get the ethanol free, treat with some octane booster, sea foam, and sta-bil. Someone also suggested a lead additive...
From what I understand these bikes run best with about 95 pure gas octane correct?
