Getting my 416 with 10.8:1 done today.

Wondering what everyone uses for gas? The guy doing the install suggested something above 92 octane.

Thanks for the input.

Yeah,,,,what rico said. Higher octane helps the motor run cooler. i mixed 93 with VP red 105

Only if you stored the chunk O lead in yo freeza,,for 4 hours previous to your riding adventure..also if you drop a alka seltzer in yo tank it will help with gas leakage and backfiring...:huh :square

If you get ATV Sport magazine, the april issue on page 37 there is a guide to compresion and the octane of gas you should use. It's a nice thing to have. It's a little hard to understand at first, but hey maybe not for you but i'm stupid
