Default 110 VP gas and plug readings

I tried some 110/91 mix last night with a new plug, rode around for 2hrs and pulled the plug and it looked like new. WTF? Is it possible to read a plug using 110? Im gonna try straight 91 w/o octane boost like I usually do and see if its any different.

BTW...

I put in 185/190 DJs cuz I was running a bit lean, thats why I wanted to do a plug check.

I get a nice reading from using VP110. It's alot better than the 76 I used to use!IMO

i would stay with the 110 or even higher, i would not try the 91 in a built motor, even semi built ..JMO

I am using VP c14 with my raptor and that is at 114 octane..

Dont switch to octain booster that stuff is $hit. VP is really good. It will burn a lil cleaner then regular fuel too.

You will lose power from octane booster and It might gum up your carb. 110 octane should give you a greyish tan reading if tuned right. Kill the motor while the bike is under a load and then look at your plug.
