    There's also a fine line when conditions change and there is no way that you can depend on your engine to be on that line all the time and not need anything more.

    You'd have to ask him, I suggested blending for 100 octane.

    well i just fired her up, and man does it sound mean! but man does it KNOCK. only ran it for 10 secs sitting in my shed (no front tire) put my head near the motor and i can hear it. to be honest i dont rlly kno if its spark knock, could just be engine noise, but im going to get some race gas and mix it 50/50 if i still hear the same noise then i guess its just engine noise....

    I run 10 oz of toluene to one gallon of gas in my kdx works very well ran this all last year with no problem. Toluene is easy to find and about $14 per gal I have run this bike with out it you can feel the differance and the bike is allot more responsive. Do a search on this as a booster their is alot of info on it.

    Hmmm i just read a hole page on it, and it seams like it would work very well.

    Do you run this with synthetic oils in your kdx?

    i went to the sunoco that sells race fuel, and they dont get it untill aprill, and its 9.50 a gallon then i went to the local shop and he cant get VP untill mid april and it was 12.50 a gallon LAST YEAR!! so i dont even want to know the price now. And the sunoco i went to only sells 93. i thought sunoco had 94?

    any one else know about this toluene?

    any one use the klotz hitrate?

    WRONG higher octane in an engine that isnt made to run it will give you less power as it burns slower than low octane fuel. Either the carb cleaner got deposits out of the carb you missed and carbon off the valves/piston or your mind is playing tricks on you.

    high octane dosent give you more power but an engine ment to run on high octane will make more power with high ocatane than with 93 and have much better throttle response

    I run amsoil dominator 50-1. My bike has had the head cut and squish band changed and I can still run pump gas. I have the bike jetted for toluene the only real change i found in jetting was my air screw. With out toluene my bike will load up with toluene my wife has ridden for hours never to get out of third gear with no problem.I will not mix a can of gas with out toluene xylene or xylol they all work the same.

    were are you gettin this stuff and how much are you mixing pergallon.

    i can get "good" 93 but that the best stuff around here other then race gas.

    my bike has sprock head with the lowest comp. dome. I dont think it should need much more then 93-94

    I use Sherwin Williams, I run 8-10 0z per gal from what I have read if you stay below 10% mix you stay out of danger of washing your cylinder if you go above 10% you need to run some K-1 for lube. My motor only needs about 96 oct to run best any thing over this is a waste and makes more heat.

    You can get toluene or xylene (didnt know it worked the same) at most any hardware store, walmart may even carry it in the pain section.
