Funny, after reading that it seems that most folks use 87.  I was wondering why the bike sounds different after pumping 93 into it.  I guess it runs hotter on high octane?  I'm not going screw it up am I?

no you won't screw it up but you will just spend to much money on gas.

I always ran 87 in my Busa without any problems

your not gaining anything by running 93... just paying more for gas...

Depends on the mods you have.. I used to buy 87 when I did not have the NOS setup.... tried spraying with the low octane and my ride was not having it, switched to 91+ and spraying she will fly like a bat out of hell...

I always run 93 shell,texaco or chevron,only the best for my bike.
