Exactly! Somehow a lot of people think that if they run a higher octane fuel thier ride will be faster...not so. Unless you have a higher compression motor due to mods, stick with what the manufacturer recommends or you are simply wasting your money.

KFX-700 uses 91-93 octane per manual,If you add more timing also will require higher octane.Race gas also runs cooler(burns slower)and has lead in it to lube the valves.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]
