I’d like to go ahead and apologize for my lack of knowledge on this topic. With that being said, would it be worth the money for me to run the vp t2 in my 125? Vp states on their website it’s for stock or modified bikes, aside from having a more consistent fuel as far as octane is concerned is it worth the $12 a gallon?

I run it in my 250. Very noticeable power increase vs C12. You will need to go up in jetting though about 3.5% bigger. I went from a 460 main jet to a 490 and a 32.5 pilot jet to a 37.5 to give you an idea of how much more fuel you’ll need.

Did you have to do any mods to accommodate it besides the jetting? I currently run a Lectron carb which will change things a bit.

It's an amazing fuel that makes your bike run really well. Give it a try and then you can decide whether it's worth it to buy more

Interesting- my 17’ Tc 250 runs way better on C12

No, my bike is stock other than jetting.

My bike is rejetted with a different slide, needle jet, needle, pilot and main jet. It ran really well on C12 like that, but increasing the pilot and main size then switching to u4.4 or T2 and it’s noticeably more powerful. Pulls harder out of turns and even is able to pull a gear higher vs the C12. If you ever come to the Austin area to ride hit me up and we can swap bikes for a few laps.

Cool- I may hit you up- Should be going to Murphy’s in a few wks. Mine has some mods/porting.. I’ve run T2, then C12, now avgas just because it’s so dang cheap, but c12 split w/93 runs best. Haven’t tried T4, but heard it’s good too

T4 is for four strokes.

I was at Murphy’s yesterday. I work the first weekend in June though.

T4 is just a good replacement for 91 pump gas. Works great when mixed for 2 or 4 stroke.

Yup - our own VP area rep swears T4 is a great option..

Kinda a long shot but would anyone of any dealers or shops that sell vp close to east Tn? I have two people local but they don’t order the T2 and will try selling you something else, they usually aren’t very useful. Vps dealer locator has a vendor about two hours away so I guess that’ll be my last resort.

Try to find a few people and split costs on a full pallet of fuel, split shipping also. Dropped off where ever you want.
