i glad i get to quote your dumbass ..now go start another thread for guys that own 06-2011 model zx14 and ask them to tell you what that sticker next to the gas cap says .. 90 + octane .. shows how much you know ..


i use E85 on a turbo bike i've run 8.30's and have 835lbs of equipment doing it on 290rwhp on 8lbs of boost .. my bike has 50,000 miles on it and 1000's of passes .. i race every weekend and ride week days you got nothing for me .. tough guy

i've learnt how to put fuel in my bike at age 10 and didn't ask a forum on what to use..

Yeah, I tried to stay out of this foolishness, but there is just too much misinformation being thrown around as fact.

1bad is correct. From the 06 owner's manual: 90 octane minimum.

Guess what? From the 2012 owner's manual: 90 octane minimum.

Also compression ratio is 12.0 on the older models and 12.3 on the 2012.

That said, many people have used 87 octane in the older models with maximum performance and no issues, myself included.

eklispe, i find it hard to believe that u are running 87 octane with a compression ratio of 13.1 or 13.5 which ever is tthe case. Are u asking for trouble? Why not pay a few eextra pennies to protect urself from the deadly detonation? Yes, you can get by for awhile but misshift or hit the rev limiter and u cud be asking for trouble. I really don't understand these posts advising u to run a high compression motor on low octane fuel... It's simply foolish....


Actually do some research eklispe is not the only one running only 87. I have in my last 5 bikes I drag race. 3 zx 14's and 2 gen 2 busa's. my buddy has 5600 miles on his gen 2 Busa and it's only ever had 87 in it and he has 2200 passes on it as well at the track in that 5600 miles. before you call some one foolish maybe you should check and see what guys are actually doing. mine now has the head milled 20 for even more compression and I use 92 now.

Hey eklispe there are know stupid questions just asking for peoples thoughts,and u can run 87 in the old 14,but IF U ARE THAT STUPID to run 87 in the new 14r,well no need to answer to my posts because noone will listen to you anyway

If I had a 14r with pipe and tune it would get 87 or 89 tops. no need for more. but why did you even ask if you were not thinking of running lower then your little sticker said.

it's hard to tell if you are serious, your bike says run 87, Kawasaki says run 90+? huh? It's been known for years lower octane makes more power, that's why we run 87, Brock has tested the 14r and says it likes 89, not 87 or 93. Yes there are allot of drag racers here, street bike riding also applies to racing when you are wanting maximum power from a stock motor, if we find out how to get it, it will work for you on the street.

Brock will have to answer that, but if it's 2-3 hp and you're racing the same bike as you own every little bit helps.

1badzx12r ok lets start over gixxerjohn comes from people i rode with there was a lot of us and they gave me a nickname.....alot of johns,and i had an 06 gixxer 1000 with a lil work done and it was a beast,so my name has always kind of stuck. Yeah 50,000 miles is serious mileage,but to be honest i sell my bikes after 2 seasons or so,so i dont get a ton of mileage. I have no children and me and my wife have very good jobs,so i buy alot of bikes. But that being said this new 14 is going to be hard to get rid of.
