    Octane rating of UL94 avgas

    Swift fuels offers offers unleaded avgas, their UL94, which I read is basically 100LL without TEL added. https://swiftfuels.com/fuel/unleaded-ul94-avgas/ I know that pump gas octane rating is an "average" of RON and MON, or R+M/2, and avgas octane rating is comparable to MON. That being said...

    Which household cleaner degreaser do you like?

    I just tried the "purple" simple green on my motorcycle engine and it worked great!

    5W30 in a 1.6l Ecoboost

    FWIW, I ran Amsoil SS 0w20, then 5w30 in my Civic LX 1.5T, The 5w30 gave almost identical wear numbers, and had sheared down to 20w after only 5000 miles.

    '14 Yamaha R1, Amsoil metric 10w40

    The shifting issue is partly me... I also own a '16 KTM 690 Enduro R, more on that later. I've found that the R1 actually shifts pretty decent if shifted quickly, and just a little nudge one the shifter. Problem is, if I shift the KTM like that, I'll get a false neutral in 4-5-6 pretty...

    '14 Yamaha R1, Amsoil metric 10w40

    Oil was changed at ~500, 1000, and 3400 miles before this sample. Only mods are A Coffman's shorty slip-on, and an ECU reflash. The shift quality of this bike is a bit notchy for my liking, and I'd like to try a different oil so see if it helps. I've heard good things about Motul 7100/300v.
