I've heard to steer away from it for R's, I have heard of guys running it in their 4-strokes in the past. But once again I'd probly steer clear of it.

Do a search in your area for anyone who sells oils in bulk. There is a fuel/oil company in my area that sells Turbo Blue (115 oct) at the pump. It ends up being about 105-110 motor octane. Slightly leaded. Burns pretty well. I run that in my 265 PV

I have been running it in my r for 3 years and no problems.I run it in my yz250 and my old kx250 for the last 5 years.no problems at all.

i've been running it for 7 years now... have buddies that have been running it for years before that...

higher octane, doesnt break down and go bad fast like pump gas does...

no cons...

I run it in mine with no problems

Sorry to halfway change the topic, but is there a peak limit of compression on R's where i would need to use something higher octane than AvGas ... I've always used it on my R with 190psi ... and right now i'm putting a race dome 310pv on it and was just curious... cause i dont have any idea what my new compression will be... hopefully a little over 200psi... (sorry,, just one of my thoughts that roll through my head)
