This'll probably open up a can of worms. But what octane of gas do you put in your Honda Shadow ? I've got a 750. And do you ever use octane booster ? Or carb/injector additive to your gas ?

Allway run good gas in a bike helps keep carbs clean, keeps away spark knock and you get better gas milage.

I always use high octane I get better mileage the bike runs good

B12 chemtool once in awhile

In my 1100, non-ethanol 87 or better. Or high test with additive

93

Non ethanol 91 up here in canada for me

better mpg & cleaner engine with 87 non ethanol

I ran 87 octane and once a month 93 shell premium gas , as far as mpgs I haven't noticed any difference the bike runs well with either

Shadows are made to run 87 octane. They do not need additives. If you just want to run something to clean the carbs. Use 100 percent alcohol. About a half of cup. All that other stuff is junk for your bike.

I had a good experience with sea foam carb cleaner additive my choke needle was hanging up and that all broke it loose and cleaned it up till winter when I can pull it apart. But as far as I know hight octane gas is simply harder to burn and not good for lo conpression engines.

Unfortunately only thing in my area that is non-ethanol is the 91-93 octane. I run booster in it once in awhile, usually if I put cleaner in too.
