It depends on the type of engine and how high of octane you are running. Octane slows the burning of fuel, so if it is too high of octane for the engine, you will end up burning out your exhaust valves because burning fuel is being pushed out of them. 92 or 93 octane that is available at fuel pumps as "premium" fuel is ok for most engines. I wouldn't run anything over about 100 octane.

No, you do not need to run high-octane fuel in a Kawasaki KX 85. This bike is designed to run on regular unleaded fuel, typically with an octane rating of 87. However, using higher octane fuel won't harm the engine and may provide slight performance benefits under certain conditions, but it's not necessary for optimal performance. Always refer to the owner's manual for specific fuel recommendations.
