Octane Selector

Hi All,

In my quest to optimize the LC8, I have tried out the following thing: I 'unplugged' blink

the Octane selector cable, to select the ignition program for low octane fuel (below 95), although the fuel I'm using is high octane (9 Cool

.

For now I only performed a 2-minute test-drive, and the bike performs a lot smooter from 2000 to 6000 RPM. sleep

I suppose (hope) that the ignition program will be retarded a bit to avoid pre-combustion of the fuel mixture.
I also read that the output is going to be lower: less than 98 HP (85 perhaps?) unsure

Are there any people that have enough technical background to explain what changes? huh

Is there any reason why this should not be done ?

I will try out to use the bike in various situations the coming week. I will try to keep you posted with my practical findings.

Ciao, René
