ok i just traded my banshee for a 99 440ex, and its got just about anything you can think of 440 kit, hotcams, and a 13;1 comp piston. i was riding down the road and one day it just stopped. i knew i shoulld be running 110 or an high octane gas but i put 89 in. is that my problem or do i have a bigger problem.
it turns over just doesnt start!

Running 89 with 13:1? You may have damaged your engine! If the problem persists after various attempts with different trial and error methods, you may need to tear it down, inspect it, and possibly rebuild some things.

Change your plug, clean everything up, etc. First thing you need to do once it gets back running is get some more good race gas (Or something of the sort). Always make sure you have some with that. I would run even higher if you can compared to what is in now... just to be safe.
