I am getting ready to do major service on my BMW K100. replace temperature sensor, replace tires, (and brake pads if needed), change spark plugs, etc. So I decided to take a spin up to the Sierras as far as the snow line. Now I had what I thought, noticed a weakness in the power out put on this bike when I rode on the freeway a couple of weeks back. It was not missing or backfiring, just didnt seem to have the power to get up and go. So I am thinking I might have something else to fix also while doing the rest of the stuff. Anyway, on this last trip I decide to use the super grade of fuel, bypassing the cheaper regular fuel. I noticed, unless I have a distorted imagination, a real power improvement. Now I know the high test fuel is used primarily to prevent pre ignition or pinging, and I had nothing noticeable like that going on with the many times I filled it with regular. So to get to the point, what grade fuel do you use and is there any difference in performance on a K bike? Now I forgot to mention I live in CA where the fuel blend could be more squirrelly and a mid west fuel source.
