It will work fine but it's alot of money for race fuel that you really don't need ...93 should be fine.... If i where to use race fuel i would go no higher than maybe 101.... Go to high and you will slow the bike down....But it will smell good going down the track ...lol

Mix it 50/50 with premium .......... C12 will burn to slow.
I run that or C16 in my turbo bike and thats at 21 lbs boost.

NO WAY use C12! That will do NOTHING for you but slow down your bike! A production bike like the 14 is meant to use nothing more than what it calls for. If you want to run race gas, get some VP MR9 or MR1. Those are low octane oxygenated fuels that will MAKE hp, not LOSE hp. Don't even bother mixing the C12 with pump gas......just a waste of time, money and slowing your bike down.

Hey northmedic if I were you I would only use mr9=87 octane VP race fuel...If no race gas available then regular unleaded 87 octane for me!!!
The 87 octane burns fastest !!!...If you use any hi-octane race fuel out there, I guarantee you that you will go slower than 87 octane pump gas!!!

You can run VP MR9 but you kinda need to be mapped for it. It's not higher octane it's chemically better............

My ZZR only required 87, but the '14 says to use 91. Mine has a big white sticker on the tank telling me 91... Is 87 really ok for these bikes in everyday use, or just for short stints on the track?

Dont need no stinking maps!!!
I have never installed a PC in my 2002 12  that shit...All you need is mr9, it's an instant 5+ HorsePower 
When breaking in my 12 I used premium pump gas until I was told to use 87 octane, so since 2002 my 12 has only seen 87 octane, then in 2003 mr9...Still an unopened stock motor without a PC and no problems!!!
