Accidentally put Regular red 91 in my little Honda Airblade instead of Gasohol91 the bike ran slowly all week max speed 60KPH instead of 90KPH and acceleration sluggish .....refilled with Gasohol 91 and its back to normal.

Glad you posted that Jerry, when I ran the Phantom on a few tankfuls of 91 Benzine before leaving it standing I also found it a bit sluggish ,especially up hills
If the 91 Regular would be up to quality standards, that would not happen, better change your petrol station as this one seems to fill you some homebrew from a smuggler but not regular 91, happens at some places. I always avoided for example TPI pumps as all valves started clicking at low revvs, so do I never fill up in other cheapies. Cheers, Franz

Franz the station concerned was the main PTT one on Sukumvit in Pattaya and its the place where i filled up the Airblade with Gasohol and now its OK .Originally Posted by Franz
Jerry is your Airblade carb or FI? I only started using gasohol on the BMW F650GS at 94000 km, until then I only used benzine 91 but the knocking was getting bad even on flats, changing to gasohol 95 cured it. There was no difference in power or fuel consumption between the two different fuels but then this was a FI engine. The Phantom is carb and I am wondering if on the new bikes that recommend 91 gasohol as the fuel to use that the carb is set up to perform at its best on gasohol 91, unlike FI a carb cant adjust itself for optimum results
