I've heard, keyword HEARD that leaded fuels can clog injectors so for me, this is a concern. I really like sunoco's supreme which is leaded 112 octane. I know that lead is supposed to act like a lubricant in an engine and that's why it's good to run in a two stroke... But please someone clear this up for me.... Thanks in advance!!!!

The fuel is good now non leaded or leaded, few years back they had problems. Good to go now. Start your bike every week or two or drain tank if you are worried. What bike you have?,. Get some t4 in a can , or buy the pump fuel early in month at a busy gas station.

I run the same leaded Sunoco split 50/50 for our two strokes, and cut it 33.33/66.33 or even 1/4 in my 12' KX450F. Have been doing this since I bought the bike new with no side effects. Straight might be too slow of a burn, but only 25-33% of the Sunoco mixed with mostly 91 pump gas helps raise the octane since I've bumped my compression up a bit (never with High-Comp pistons, always by decking the cylinder or head). Hope this helps and best of luck!
