I know this dog has been probably beat to death but....... Does it really make a difference?

 

yes it makes a big difference, i only put 110 octane in my bikes and you can deffinetly tell a difference in power at least with all my bikes.

I just have to find a local shop that sells the stuff now.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

yah, i can bearly find racing fuel here well 110 octane and when you do its pretty expensive.

Bob

 

just looked at ur pics and where did u get that tach thats on ur sportsman?

 

DONT PUT RACE GAS IN A STOCK PRED!!!!

higher octane fuel should not be used in a stock pred...the fuel WILL NOT burn completly like 89 will...and it will actually make you lose power...not sure about the whole reason why, but if you do a search you will found out more info

 

from highlifter...according to the picture caption

 

I read somewhere that the Predator has 10.5 to 1 stock??????????? If this is correct the 110 would be great! (been there done that [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]) and do not worry about having "too high" of octane , you wont hurt CRAP! If you want ...run the 110 and see how it acts, them mix some reg in with it to weaken the mix, and see how it runs............I went from 87 to 110 in my 200x that had a 10.5 to 1 piston, head ported and polished, and you could tell a big change! I am also at 600ft sea level.........not sure what you are in Washington.........

 

Yes they do have 10.5 to 1 compression, all the guys I ride with use 110 or 118 (?) in their stock bikes, Honda 450r, Yamaha yfz450, DS650, Banshee. And of course the guys with the modified bikes use it too.

So I am stil up in the air on this, I do know it does not work very well on my Sportsman 700 though.

PolarisBob, I believe highlifter dicontinued the tach and temp guage, I haven't been able to find it on their website.
