So we went to fill up the gas cans for the bikes...and since my ktm uses high grade we decided to fill up the other cans with high grade (was in a rush)...So will high grade hurt a bike like the xr 100...crf 150f...

Alright my ktm uses premium fuel (high grade)....To make a long story short we filled up all our gas cans with the premium fuel...And i was just making sure it wouldnt hurt a bike like the xr100 or thee crf 150f if you use premium gas

High grade? Like a high octane?

Ohh thought so. The average gas over here is 95 octane, and premium is 97!

won't hurt, in fact it should help, just like running a higher octane in your car

Well if you run premium in a car thats set up for regular you have a post ignition
you can destroy your catalytic converter and hurt your emission control system

Higher octane doesn't help chit if it isnt a higher compression engine, but it wont hurt the lil bikes either.

The highest octane we can get at the pump is 91.

around here its usually 93 or 95.

UK uses a higher octane then us. or it might just be that they use a different system. there are different systems to rate octane level of fuel, so 92's fuel with a 95 might be the equivalent to our 91.
