Hello all! Quick question.
According to the service manual the cb1100s have a 86+ octane rating. Today was my first fillup and I used 93, didnt have an issue at all. BUT, has anyone experienced a better ride with the 87 instead of the 93?
In my Vulcan 750, it also recommends to use 87, I used to put 93 until I read the manual, next day I used 87. It started better, it ran better, and power was increased (weird right?). Granted, this is a carbureted bike vs. the cb with FI.
Thanks!
