Whats the advantage of using race gas vs Super Unleaded fuel? Does the bike run harder. I mean, without advancing any timing, is there really any additional horsepower?


Any "free" mods that I am not aware of? Please post free to cheap mods that most do. My bike has a pipe, K&N and new Reeds. I am looking to make the bike quicker through the first 4 gears. Smaller paddles is probably one....any input would be great, tks

 

The only reason to run race gas is your running a higher compression engine. If your engine is stock compression its a waste of money and most probibly make it run worse. If the bottem end(crank) in your engine is in good shape there are a couple ways(cheap) to raise the compression and wake your machine up. Take your head to a machine shop and have it 'shaved' or even cheaper go to the honda dealer and get a '89 cr-250 head gasket.

 

Okay, that is what I figured. Tks for the reply. I am guessing the 89 CR250 head gasket is smaller so the compression will be increased? Is this noticible to the rider?

 

Dunerash,

Your link to Sandwizards is a cool site. Always looking to ride with some 3 wheelers. I am all new to the sport, so I will have to monitor that site and see when you guys go down to the dunes this yr.
