I have heard that the NT will run on almost anything 85 an above. But what do you use and why?
Tell me more about Star Tron please. Is that an octane booster somthing to reduce the bad effects of ethanol? I have never heard of it.87 Octane with Star-Tron addative. We don't have ethanol free gas here, so we are stuck with ethanol.
PURE-GAS.ORGAt some point someonre posted a link to a site that showed all the stations that sold REAL gas here at NT owners.org.
Gasahol, as it is called in Iowa, was sold here in the early 80's. LONG before the current administration.I use 89 octane. The PFI system in the bike does not utilize a knock sensor. Fuel quality can vary so much station to station that the engine may knock a bit, and I know I'd never hear it over the noise of traffic, wind, helmet, etc. A slightly higher octane gives me peace of mind.
And for the record, ethanol in fuel was introduced well before the current administration took office. Let's try to keep one's political views in check, or kindly take them to the off-topic forum. Thank you.
1978 was the start in the modern era, probably as a response to the first oil embargo. I remember Jay Leno's garage having an alcohol-fueled car made sometime before 1910. I'l bet that cereal grains were used in the early distilling process. The tax support for ethanol fuels was just diminshed, (25 or 30 cents) but I don't know of the mandate has changed.Gasahol, as it is called in Iowa, was sold here in the early 80's.
