So, it's very hard to find "Speciale (98 RON)" where I live in Italy. Like, I haven't seen it yet. Regardless, I have a fuel card program that limits where I can buy fuel. The "Normale" unleaded here is 95 RON; however, from what I've read, this is equivalent to around US 89 RON. Here's my reference:
"In Europe, the octane rating on the pump is simply the RON figure. America, by contrast, uses the average of the RON and the MON figures, called the AKI (anti-knock index). Thus, 97 octane "super unleaded" in Britain is roughly equivalent to 91 octane premium in the United States."
I'm getting a quick misfire under full throttle in the lower gears (1st and 2nd). Feels like the limiter kicks in for 1 second but, engine doesn't free rev and no traction/warning light. Don't think its the protection circuit. With my tuner and open intake/ exhaust setup, do you think it's a compression ratio issue? Engine runs perfect otherwise and no stumble in higher gears, though I may be noticing it runs slightly better when I use a fuel additive (Seafoam).
Just put the bike back together after a long hibernation and haven't touched the RB Evo maps since it went cold 8 months ago. I've experienced a lack of fuel pressure and it's not that. I will say that she was fed US Super for her first 4 years on this planet, about 1.5 years of that with tuner. I believe I'm running a custom map and not the Autotune, so will try that next.
Just interested any of the combustion nerds opinions.
