i <3 seafoam... i didnt know that *****... good to know

 

tranny fluid in your gas?? wtf....what about water?

 

Sea foam is a detergent, tranny fluid is a high detergent oil. I would run some tranny fluid in the crankcase but not in the gas or through vacuum.

 

i have left the spot early because i ran outta gas and my buddy only had 87.

 

I do not get into argument's on the internet, nor do i know any info as to what seafoam actually is? All i know is seafoam is a clear gassy like substance that is originally intended for marine use? And as far as i can tell it appers to have no realation with atf? Like i said i may be wrong but i would NEVER put atf or power steering fluid in my gas tank! And for six bucks a can if it gets my **** running like butter it is money well spent!

 

its the sea level your at. it varies in different countrys

Just remember, running your bike on higher octane fuel then it is designed to run on, will NOT give it more performance, it will actually hurt performance because the fuel wont get a chance to fully burn..

 

Besides octane, the biggest difference between the "cheap stuff" and "premium or super" is the additives and detergents that each gasoline company puts in their fuel. It is worth the extra 20 cents a gallon to keep everything cleaner! besides the already mentioned less likely hood of detonation, etc. The motor WILL run more efficiently with higher octane gas.

 

First, most bikes like the 636, 600rr, gsxr's etc; run high compression motors and therefore require higher octane to eliminate "pinging". However, if your bike doesnt ping with lower octane, it is ok to run it. I wouldnt recomend anything lower then 91 or what a manual says. Manufacturers advise on the best recipe to make your machine run the most efficient, but in higher altitudes you could probably get away with it.

The next thing to think about is your particular tank of gas and where you are filling up at. I know there are different gas stations in my area that are known to have bad gas, ie; water gets in after storms etc. So maybe change the gas station your getting it at.

The last is a point that others brought up. HEAT. Heat is a motor killer and a for sure recipe for poor performance, loss of power and premature engine failure. Make sure your bike stays as cool as possible. Drifting takes a major toll on bikes, and after a decent amount of time spent drifting, I have seen first hand, even the most reliable of bikes, start pissing, pinging and clanking from the over heating.

Bottom line, there is no bennefit to using highier octane then your engine needs.

 

Sea Foam Is An Aditive Used For Cleaning Fuel Systems,as Well As Engines.you Can Put It In Your Tank , Throttle Bodies,engine,brake Booster,you Can Even Use It In A Diesel .no It Is Not Tranny,or Power Steering Fluid.

 

my wrecked bike sat for over a year and i put about a gallon of airplane fuel wich is like 110 octane to burn all the cobwebbs out and she runs like a strapped *** ape. but i don't wanna burn anything up so i just ran a gallon to get it up running good and then back to the ol' 93 octane. (07 gsxr 600

 

im run 93 only. im a squid and have an r1 though lol

 

Since when does the type of bike you ride qualify you to be a squid or not??? Run what you brung son, Run what you brung!

 

i just like to point it out before you guys get the chance too
ive ran lower octane before when i was broke and my bike runs the same but it seems like i get less mpg out of it? burns faster possible.

as far as ryans problems i agree with what neil morgan said

 

You are correct on the mpg thing. Only if your engine is running at optimum level. Higher octane burns slower and therefore should give you better gas mileage, however, If your anything like me or most I know, we are either blowing around on our bikes, or have the idle up in the lot, and therefore paying attention to mpg goes out the window...

 

yea i dont do lot stuff but i ride hard and wheelie the streets everywhere in 2nd. although i dont think my wheelies are to high in the r's im sure my mpg is a tad worse from them lol.

the 2007 r1 said to run a min. of 91 octane too, might not be as high on a 600

 

I always run 91, but I'm poor this week and ran 87. I couldnt tell a difference.

 

dead on
