    What fuel to use??

    Hey guys,
    We just got a used 250 Raptor and I am not sure what fuel we should use. I am under the impression that higher octane fuels are not helpful unless you have higher compression. If this is true, at what point should i move from 87 to 93 to 100 to 110. i can buy all at the pump here. I am going to check the compression tonight.

    Thanks

    True any pump gas will work, I would run 93 pump gas if it was mine, I won't run anything under 93 in any atv, JMO. you don't need to go any higher than that unless you start doing some serious engine mods.
