No more VP MR9...WHAT NOW?!

Yes it is fine to use the stock plugs with it.

The Sunoco or any high octane pump gas will kill power, we se better performance and higher HP #'s with 87 and 89 octane. If you do not have alot of compression you do not need the high octane.

Yeah, I'm using the track map w/ 91 octane (ran a 9.49) and it is awesome!!! Can't wait to get ahold of some MR11. Thanks guys for the info.

Hotboi74,

We use MR11 now since MR9 cannot be found, it works best with our track map and air filter removed at the dragstrip, works great in the 08 Busa.

Do not leave in tank, drain the best you can and run pump gas through the system.

On the 14s and the 08 Busas we actually use 89 octane, we have found that it works very well

07ZX14,

MRX01 should be great for you.

Nicks1

You could see about 190 with good fuel.

TP DROP IN KIT WHAT THE MOST REARWHEEL HP CAN I GET

YES

Its sitting in the cold side of our shop so its about 10-30 on average so i hope it will still be good, or othewise what a waste. Thanks for your input !

Does anyone know what the shelf life of mr11 is once opened. I bought 5gal end of this last season and only used about 1 gal. Im hoping it wont be bad by spring?

MR11 vs. MR9 vs. MRX01

From our dyno and track testing, we have found the MR11 and MR9 are almost identical fuels from a performance standpoint. We have also seen no need for map changes in between these three fuels for 99% of our customers. The only real exception to this would be AMA Dragbike super sport racing to squeeze the last .001 out of the bike during national competition. The average rider and racer will not notice the difference.

VP Racing Fuels Claims:
MR11^TM
Recommended for 4-stroke applications where octane requirements are fairly low, e.g. Supersport, Superbike, Formula Extreme, Supermoto and MX. Delivers up to 6% more power than pump gas and any basic non-oxygenated racing fuel. AMA-legal except for Supercross and Outdoor Nationals.

Color: Yellow
Oxygenated: Yes
Motor Octane: 90
Specific Gravity: 0.749 at 60� F

MR9
Designed for 4-stroke applications that can tolerate lower octane values. Makes up to 8% more power than pump gas and up to 2% more power than MRX01. Used by every champion in AMA Superbike Pro classes in 2004 and 2005, as well as the Supermoto, Supermoto Lite, and Supermoto Unlimited championships in 2005. Although currently not legal in AMA Pro Racing, MR9 passes fuel rules for AMA amateur racing as well as club-level racing, CCS, WERA, and AFM.

Color: Clear
Oxygenated: Yes
Motor Octane: 87
Specific Gravity: 0.718 at 60� F

MRX01
Recommended for 2- and 4-stroke applications. Delivers up to 6% more power than pump gas and any basic non-oxygenated racing fuel. Excellent for high compression road race applications. Can be mixed with MR9 to raise octane level for specific applications. Clean burning � leaves intake and exhaust valves virtually free of deposits for maximum airflow and performance from start to finish. AMA-legal except for Supercross and Outdoor Nationals.

Color: Pink
Oxygenated: Yes
Motor Octane: 98
Specific Gravity: 0.717 at 60� F

We have tested both fuels against MRX01, which both net about a 2% increase over MRX01. Our test bike, 2008 stock-motored Hayabusa; we found (on a very hot day) MR11 made about 200 HP. When MRX01 was dyno-ed the same day (within 1 hour), we found it made 196HP. Both fuels (MR11 and MR9) are highly oxygenated, which causes them to have very fast burn rates, so nitrous use is HIGHLY discouraged.

You will notice the MR11 has an octane rating of 90 while the octane rating of the MR9 is only 87. This has proven beneficial to the performance of the latest models (2007-2008 Hayabusa�s and GSX-R1000's) which come with increased compression ratios from the factory.

We are currently testing several varieties of the new AMA Dragbike-approved XXX Racing fuel for 2009. Initial results have been very impressive, especially for an environmentally friendly/�green� product. We will continue our testing, and post results soon.

	I'm going to try race fuel in my 08 Busa,(Sunoco standard 110 octane with a specific gravity of 0.728 non-oxygenated leaded). Can I run this fuel straight or do I need to mix it with pump gas.

	I know this may be an old question, but is it wrong to utilize 87 octane pump fuel, sunoco, or shell in 07 zx14? I was told by others that it would not hurt my motor.

	I have found as long as it is in a sealed container and kept very cool...It lasts a couple of months...but I would not bet on it, sometimes it goes bad very quickly...and make sure its in the metal can it came in, because the plastic jugs make it break down sooner. Let me know if you have any other questions.

	Thanks Brock, because MR9 was getting scarce around here and I've never tried MR11. I'm very interested in how the XXX fuels work, especially if it doesn't have to be drained regularly.I run MR9 in my 14 and MRX01 in my 1397 Busa.
