I'm in north Cali. And I run trick 110 gas only on my 2000 kx500. It is 32:1 I have never ran pump gas, bike runs great and never fouls a plug. Its practically like alcohol.

first there are many types of race gas, some will make yor bike crisper, run cleaner, but no real performance advantage. there are other fuels, such as the oxygenated that do show performance increases, fuels such as the Q16 and the MR series of VP do have a performance advantage. The real question is are you willing to pop for the $25 per gallon for the MR fuel, if your not competing I think it would be a waste of your money. Alcohol was mentioned, it makes huge HP over race gas, however you need an 1/8" drill bit to get enough to run good and as such your range isn't very far, no race gas will make the HP of alcohol, oh. and you have to use oil that will not seperate
