This premium of course is Craptimax. Use it at your peril. It is shite. Every biker I know locally avoids it like the plague. Want all your oil 'washed' off the cylinder walls ?? Use Craptimax. The detergent additives are extremely effective. It has an 'anecdotal' reputation for a very good reason.

actually, my yzf600r ran beautifully on optimax after I leaned out the mixtures
a bit... of course the bike wont run well if it's not tuned for it!

thats cool - do you use it exclusively ? I would not normally tune a bike to suit a particular brand of pump-fuel, but if it works, then go for it.

Vortex has the advantage over BP being 4c cheaper with your docket.

seriously if you are worried about the price of fuel over the best performance for your bike, WALK !!

fuel ? cost?
if its still available, I will buy it!
mind you its not a cheap affliction for me
1 sports bike, 2 V8 engined cars
1 souped up Victa (shaved head )

Apart from using bp for my bike, I also use it for my drag car.

Drag car you ask? Well, I have a street rego'd RX3. When racing, it usually will run on C16 and at around 40psi boost. 9 second 1/4 mile

On the street, nothing other than BP premium. Opticraps is just that. Crap. I'd rather put normal unleaded in my car, and buy an octane additive.

This thread s becoming more interesting by the day
I usta own a GTS Monaro coupe with 350 stock and immaculate and put it into a cliff dodgin wombats, gota replacement body being a LS Manaro coupe with 2speed powerglide and 307 high rise manifold dbl 850 Holley pumpers at high comp' and needed or loved avgas - yes yes tell me, not how it was ment to be but hauled ass anyway and VERY cruisy. The engine out of the GTS ended up in a canary yellow LJ in Dandenong that did quarters very well, bugga if i can remember anything that much except I got a good dollar for the engine..hehehe
The HQ dunnydoor was my bestest after my XC cobra lookalike, it was a 308 blued and balanced and was acomplete pubbus, man that thing looked like a VB can with it's colors but buy jingo it went like the clappers on them country roads

How to beat a rotary in a race? Race it twice! The rotary will only last one go...

Scotty

after that post.........
me thinks you will be welcome in Dandenong anytime
the boys still do it down the back of Hammond Rd on Sat nights
...cops do bust it now and then

and me?
I am kicking myself for flogging the 'munro'
a decent HT/HG 350 goes for more than $30 large these days
I paid $4000 for mine

cheers

Yes I know and until this thread I had forgotten about it
Mind you I have another ultimate machine so my love affair with mumbo machinery still lives on

haha on the CB or mobile phone these days anyway, "the cops are coming" so we all fark off to Keysborough, Chingvale or Crambum hehehe

Also I now think twice about doin the oil strip in the main st of dandy (Cnr of Clow st) on the side rd like we usta knowing what oil does to nice bikes. Any wunda the cops hated it, slippin over tryin to get to us


Nice Rotary BTW, my first car was an old ugly 121? coupe with a rotary motor in it, cant remeber which type but a m8 said get a real car to me one time, guess i showed him.

Nice Rotor Benno!!! Would be lotsa fun for sure. What does it run in street trim?

Makes me want to get motivated to put the Chugga back together and get out to the strip again. But I just keep throwing it all at the bike....

Pitty that statement is somewhat true, thats why I never developed my first car, damn expensive to repair and finding someone who actually wanted to fix it and do a good job was impossible.
