I thought it might be for all the people who go to the shop wanting to buy a KTM but can’t afford one and they buy the fuel to make their non ktm bikes go a bit faster. Out on the trails they could tell their mates “ya know the fuel in this is meant for a
ktm”. can you imagine the jealousy that would set in. good to see ya tryin to share the ktm love around Tisco

Not that I’m defending this particular fuel without knowing its full breakdown, but usually there is a lot more to a fuel than just octane rating, I can get fuels that burn better and produce more power with a relatively low RON yet others rated at 98 RON that produce nothing much more than excessive heat, I’d prefer to have a high MON than RON, because you can use relatively any crappy old additive to increase your RON and gain nothing in the way of horseower in the end.
All a higher octane rating usually does is allow you to run higher compression and/or advanced ign timing, if you don’t take advantage of these allowances it is wasted or even worse.

hmmm TB just please make sure you don’t start it in thongs though :kiss:

seeing it’ll be your recovered knee and all

i did not intend to rubbish the fuel TB, just voicing my thoughts to cost:benefit. as it is 100 ron and you can get 98 ron for about 1/2 the price.

PLUS Scott said that postage stamps won’t stick to the drum….

(well he didn’t really, i just cannot drop in and pick up a drum, and the dangerous goods thing for freight makes it out of the question all together for the like of myself..)
