Are you talking about changing your settings just to run gas you don't need to run? Or are you saying that if you are running lean that instead of correcting the settings you can just burn premium? Ya lost me here Vegas, I'm confused again.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #10518 vegasdave (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1158 Re:Question on Fuel Octane 5 Years, 7 Months ago   Running leaner for more MPG`s.And I don`t know if I ever make sense. But with out the harmful effects of running leaner.I`ve been through all the adjustments you can go though with my DynoJet kit.I`m just kinda thinking out loud.I`m rich at idle but seem to be lean running on the road.I always try to turn my bike off as to not get a false reading from the Idle Circuit.(PLUGS) I understand with the DJ kit you give alittle at one end or the other,so I`ve been thinking of getting a Baron`s kit to experiment.But my original thought is if we adjust carb settings for fuel burn,why not throw the octane settings verse adjustment in the mix savy   Logged     If Your Not Moving Forwards,Your Moving Backwards Live To Ride,Ride To Live 06 Road Star Candy Red SMOKIN!!!!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #10519 Pop Rivet (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3123 Re:Question on Fuel Octane 5 Years, 7 Months ago   vegasdave I think you've had one too many Space cakes <br><br>Post edited by: Pop Rivet, at: 2006/10/09 15:23   Logged     2009 Ultra Classic HD...2005 Silverado Road Star MY WEBSITE HOG HEAVEN Listen to the Road Star   The administrator has disabled public write access. #10520 Musky (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 15137 Re:Question on Fuel Octane 5 Years, 7 Months ago   understand with the DJ kit you give alittle at one end or the other,so I`ve been thinking of getting a Baron`s kit to experiment.But my original thought is if we adjust carb settings for fuel burn,why not throw the octane settings verse adjustment in the mix savy You know more about jetting than I do but if I had a kit that wouldn't let me get it right I'd be looking for a different kit. I suppose you could run a tank of premium through there while your riding around trying to find a Barons kit.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #10532 vegasdave (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1158 Re:Question on Fuel Octane(POP&MUSKY) 5 Years, 7 Months ago   Musky wrote: understand with the DJ kit you give alittle at one end or the other,so I`ve been thinking of getting a Baron`s kit to experiment.But my original thought is if we adjust carb settings for fuel burn,why not throw the octane settings verse adjustment in the mix savy You know more about jetting than I do but if I had a kit that wouldn't let me get it right I'd be looking for a different kit.

Musky and Pop..I`m just thinking out of the box and jerkin you guys chain to get a response.BUT if we don`t experiment sometime if (Only )to see what happens....

Won't hurt a thing. But I don't think that leaner is going to change the burn rate of the premium. It doesn't have the explosive power of regular. With the usual disclaimer: I have no idea for sure what I'm talking about so it might just work great. I don't like PB&amp;J.<br><br>Post edited by: Musky, at: 2006/10/11 07:45   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
