Will the 1330 engine adjust based on gas octane changes?

[SLICE]

110 or 1010 oct .... it's your money ..... neither one will give you any more Power ..... JMHO ..... Mike :thumbup:

But it will clean out the carbon,,, if there is any.

I run stage 2 also. WickIt recommends 91. Check it out. You can't always hear it pinging, but it's your choice. I carry BOOSTane in case I'm out in the middle of nowhere and can't find 91. I consider it cheap insurance.
As BK refers to, DON"T lug stage 2.

Hmmm....
Thx

Thx. Quite useful.

Since this bike has a Stage 2 ECU tune by WickIt [by original owner], it should then just adjust fine, I think.

Wick-It states 91 octane
1330cc Flash

Ultra smooth throttle transitions
+15% torque increase, up to +20% horsepower
Roll-on power is improved 1000-5000 rpm.
New Ultra wide power band gives vast power gains 5000 rpm to redline
91 Octane Tune (can use 93 to promote best power output)
Works with every combination of stock exhaust, cat delete or free flow muffler
Retains factory mapping, feedback systems and fuel mileage under half throttle
Stock 8100 or 8600 rpm limiter choice (or anywhere 8800-9200 at user’s discretion)

Its not about power, but more about engine damage with lower octane fuel. Too much octane can actually make an engine lose power and burn too cool.

Far better than a lean condition and running HOT.

Heat kills.

The point of my comment was ...... a few folks here suggested that using Extremely high octane fuel should be waaaaaaaaaaaay better for the Spyder.... I think that is ridicules :roflblack::roflblack: ...JMHO.. Mike :thumbup:

Because of the ECU tune I recommend their advice on what Fuel you should use ..... Mike :thumbup:

So the logical question would be, if an ECU tuner recommends a fuel and you endorse it, why then would you not endorse a fuel recommended by a BRP engineer?

The OEM ECU tune, milder, softer, not as aggressive ( take your pick ). The Monster & Jase tune's are NOT mild, soft, Non-aggressive. With their Tune a higher octane gas is needed.... if 87 octane was PROHIBITED by BRP, I wouldn't be using it. But that's not the case ---- is it. ..... JMHO ....Mike :thumbup:..... no further response from you, on this is necessary

Well I guess I am happy you think you can tell me when I can respond and when I can't. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

It is ok for someone to have a different opinion than you do. And I wasn't even offering an opinion. I was simply asking you about yours.

I wasn't being negative at all. I was simply asking for clarification. BRP DOES recommend 91 octane fuel. That is not in question whatsoever. This from pg. 54 of my owners manual.

 

[Woodaddict]

recommended but NOT required.............haven't you seen these similar posts before?

Your sentences #1 - I didn't tell you when you could or couldn't respond . #2 - I have always welcomed differing opinions, I have a lot of them myself :roflblack: . #3 - " I wasn't being negative at all " ....... I never said you were ..................JMHO ..... Mike :thumbup:

What Type of Fuel?

Can the F3-S run regular fuel (87 octane) without problems? With today's gas prices, I'm trying to save a few cents! :yes:

 

[BCNewell]

87 is what I run 90% of the time in my Daytona. 5,300+ miles in 16 months with no problems.

Nothing has changed.
1.) Minimum 87 octane required ( no 15% ethanol gas)
2.) 91 octane recommended

Around where I live I am not aware of anywhere that I can buy ethanol-free gas. I have used 91 octane exclusively since I bought my RT two years ago, but after reading this thread I might try to fill up next time with 87 octane, which is about $1 a gallon cheaper than the 91 or 93 octane. My bigger challenge is finding specific gas pumps that allow me to slowly fill the tank so that I can at least come close to actually filling it. Many pumps seem to be either on or off with no way to regulate flow, shutting off the pump when I know that there is at least 1 to 1.5 gallons short of totally full.

I didn't buy my Spyder to save money on gas, but I guess if 87 works essentially as well as 91, it seems foolish to keep spending the extra dollars on the 91.
