While I was watching WVU beat up on ISU, my buddy Brad went and played without me on Saturday...  >:(



He is migrating from his 950 Adventure to this 690 Enduro. He plans on making it into a full on Dakar replica with racks/soft bags for his backcountry adventures. Apparently, his biggest complaint with the 950 has always been picking it up by himself.  ;D

Spoke too soon. Gotta run race fuel, oh well it was a good thought.

Can't get race fuel in your neck of the woods?

Yeah, but it's a tad pricey to be running on the street.

Gotta pay to play, my man.

True, but if I was out and about and ran dry, would be a pain the ass. As it is that 690 has tons of grunt. I'll see if I can find a piston that's between the two. I need a point of contact with someone that lives and breathes that engine.

If a little is good, a lot is better, and too much is just enough.

Do you need real race fuel, or just something to increase the octane to prevent pre-detonation? The latter won't give you any hp, but will protect your motor and is a LOT cheaper.

VP works, but can be expensive unless you have a source that can sell in greater quantities than their 5 gallon cans. For instance, Bend, OR has a couple locations that sell it at the pump.

A local race motor builder may be able to get you something cheaper. Through my motor builder, I used to get 16 gallon drums of leaded R110 fuel to use in my built R6 motor. I only had to mix it at about 30% with premium pump gas to keep my motor safe. MUCH cheaper than running actual race gas.

All those parts are laying on red silk.

That pretty much translates it for me.
