what octane are you running in your 450s if it has to be premium to run right I might consider a rappy 700 instead. with gas prices so high

Well with a tank less than 3 gallons I don't think I would notice much difference in the pocket book, unless you plan to ride the kfx back and forth to work

91 minimum but it needs to be higher than that. 91 doesn't appear to be enough. It needs a faster burning fuel. I run 110/91 combo for around 100 or so. Picks up nicely. Costly though.
You will burn less premium than regular as it is burns hotter and faster so the price really works out in the end.
so your saying that your gas will last longer if you run premium?
i run 100 race fuel from the pump
If you cant afford premium then you might want to reconsider purchasing a $7k+ quad.
Personaly I would imagin that the rap700 should take premium also, and even id it didnt I would run it anyways to protect your investment. I run a 91/104 mix at about 1:4 so maybe 94-96oct.
i got pump but i added maxima octane booster for mine
super
