| Re: Right here is your problem... |
OK... yup, I am NOOB... so help me out here, Brian, because I'm confused. I thought it was "compression" that TENDS to bring pre-ignition and that higher Octane gasoline (like 89 or 91) could delay or prevent that. Even my manual talks about "Ping" and "Knock" and using higher octane to prevent that. But I'm sure willing to listen.
One other thing: "high performance." You are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT that the littlest Ninja is NOT a high performance bike, but pulling 28hp out of about a 15-cu.in. engine sure sounds like pretty "strong performance." The other 250cc bikes barely do half that from their engines.
Educate me ... but please don't cuss at me.
Thanks!
