Hey guys. I've been playing around with upgrades to my 125. I want to start running 50:50 mix of C110 and high octane pump gas. Any suggestions?

As asked before what are the upgrades... there’s only a couple reasons to make you change to a higher octaine.. The main two being: an increase in compression; or advancing the timing... A higher octaine fuel doesn’t automatically make an engine stronger it just allows you to control, more precisely, where the burn/explosion happens in the combustion cycle... it can actually have the adverse effect if the engine doesn’t create enough heat and compression to cause a complete burn of the fuel...

I have a complete fmf system, high output ignition box, v force 3 reeds, vertex high compression piston, engine sent out to pr2 for a complete rebuilding, and also power valve adjustment to a mean mode. Have it jetted so if you aren't on the pipe you will foul the plug out. Would like to run race gas to gain more proformance

With all of that, a mix would be good. Especially if PR2 is porting at all.Start at 50/50, May end up on the plus side with the race gas. Any 110 you have access to will work.... Sounds and looks like a great bike.
