Does anyone use octane booster on their airhead? Any data (or opinion) on results?

When is the snow going to stop
It's been suggested to me that my bike would 'run better' if I use it - the theory being that in 1975 when my bike was made, the gas was a higher octane.
Power comes from the mechanical tune of the engine and is hardly affected by the liquid burned.
RickM said:Feeling a bit unsure here ... as I always thought power was directly linked to the quality of the fuel.
Does this mean I can run diesel, or kerosene in my engine?
Dark Cloud said:Octane is a way of rating fuel. Besides it being a way of rating the anti-knock compound, you tend to get more detergents, other additives, and power out of the more expensive stuff.
I run high test, keeps the fuel system clean, helps prevent carbon build up and generally has a lower cost per mile than the lesser octane ratings.
