My local marina has watercraft fuel with no ethanol or lead. I think it's
91 octane, runs fine in my aged M750.

That and 100LL AV gas is formulated to run best at steady RPMs idle, 50% ,
100% not so much the variable rpms we see on our motorcycles. If caught
the penalties are quite stiff in monetary fines and or jail time or both.
According to the internet, Lead also interferes with neuronal migration,
cell proliferation and synapse formation in the brain. The consequences are
loss of intelligence and disruption of behavior and neurological
degeneration . Because the brain has little capacity for repair, these
effects are permanent and untreatable.
Seems like a lot of risk, just run fuel without alcohol in your Duc with
a 90 octane unless your compression is very high that should do just fine.
Ride safely,
Eric

You want to run the lowest octane you can without pre detonation. The
additives for high octane are intended to make it not burn well and will
reduce power. It's done for high compression, as that and whatever else is
going on needs not to pre detonate. E85 burns so poorly but for boost or
high compression is the bomb.

Hey all,
Has anyone tried aviation gas in their bike?
Ive got a ‘95 SSCR with rejetted carbs and hi compression pistons so
it prefers >90.
Recently, i started using Non-Ethanol gas in another bike i have to
preserve the plastic tank but then thought about AvGas.
Its 100 octane with lead. A technician at the local FBO said he mixes
it 50/50 with mid-octane in his HD and it runs well.
Im just curious…
Thanks.
…Tom
