Default RE: lead or no lead

What squadron are you in Mac? I used to be with HMM-165 from '95-97. I think they are in Miramar now. I remember one could even throw a lit match in a puddle of JP-5 and it would put the match out.

I know if you are using a 02 sensor on a bike lead will destroy it. If you cant run on 93 or 94 octane then you should be on a 1/4 mile black top.

No lead is good lead. Lead is poisonous and fouls spark plugs. You don't say what bike or mods you have, but any HD with stock compression of 9:1 or less, which is all Evo's and all but CVO TCs should run fine on 87 octane. I know they recommend higher octane for TCs but don't know why.
