Av Gas?
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.

I ran several gallons of AV gas, LL100, thru my 96 SS/SP a year or two ago
when I could not get non-ethanol gas. Ran well enough, left a white powdery
deposit on the plugs. Stock carbs, no jetting changes, stock airbox lid, no
rubber snorkels. That was my experince....

I used to run avgas in a Moto Guzzi Le Mans Mk1 to stop it pinking under load. Ran perfectly.

You want to run the lowest ocatane 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.

a proper race gas is far superior. no serious engine builder uses or advises av-gas.

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
