chris-mets:
hey guys,

I was wondering about running vp u4.4 racing fuel that I would get for my kx60. It says its leaded so i dont know if i can run this? Is there any of these fuels i can run on the link below ? How will the bike run with this? Would there be a noticeable difference do you guys think? Also what oil do you guys recommend me mix with this fuel? This is the link of the fuel:

Thanks

yeah you can run the leaded....you can run it straight or mix it with premium pump gas,but unless you're getting it for free,I would'nt run it straight....or you might as well dump your piggy-bank/wallet into the tank. :|.Don't have the expectations that you're pouring horsepower in your tank....you will notice a differance,but in the way of how it'll run.It will be much smoother and crispier...and it'll smell good. :-D.As for oil...what are you using now.I use Bel-Ray,but there's alot of good oils out there you can use....just try to stick with whichever you choose.

I would NOT mix the U4.4 with pump gas, for that matter any oxygenated fuel with pump gas, you could mix c-12 or c-16 with decent results. oxygenated fuels can and do make more hp, will you notice a difference, maybe. VP does have some claims that you can get pretty significant gains with some of their fuels but at over $25 per gallon they are not for trail riding, either deep pockets or serious competition.

So to answer your question, I'll ask a question, why do you want to run expensive gasoline, are you going to race? or just play ride. if just to play ride save your money, 4.4 is expensive to

Ahhhh....he changed the title from "Running VP C12" to "Running VP U4.4" while I was typing my post.So Chris-Mets.....the answer is now NO you cannot.

chris-mets:
Yeah sorry that I changed the title. I realized that fuel was more for dirt cars. I am trying to do as many mods to my kx60 cause I love it so much. I might take it to englishtown when I can drive there.

Is it really 25$ a gallon??? My friend said it was around $8 because he buys the vp stuff for his dirt car.

When Im talking about mixing it I dont mean with other gas, I meant mixing the vp fuel with what oil. sorry for not being clear.

Out of that whole list on that link, which one do you guys think would be the best? Right now my bike is wiseco crank and wiseco piston, full pro circuit exhaust, and some body mods. I am running joegibbs xp3 oil too. I ordered that kx80 carb to put on. I am planning on a vforce3 soon too.

Thanks
Chris
