VP race gas

Well I picked up an "empty" barrell of VO and the southwick nationals, and It actually had about 2 gallons left in it ahah. So I decided to run it in my stock 50. Just wondering if this will screw anything up??

Re: VP race gas

Just make sure you empty the carb and run the bike out of gas when your done.. Even though the newer stuff isnt supposed to corrode as much, its still not a bad idea to empty it out.

Itll also keep the piston/combustion chamber cleaner... less carbon build up

Enjoy the smell lol to make your gallons last longer mix it 50/50 with 91 pump.

Re: VP race gas

haha. I usually mix it 50/50 to make it last longer. It was at the Pro circuit Kawasaki's pit so It's probably the HIGH octane stuff. It came out clear so its definately more than 105 octane. VP red is 105.

Re: VP race gas

mix at 3:1, (pump gas:vp) and just check plug after a few runs to see if any jetting change.
