High octane gas for any engine is good to prevent build up on valves and internal combustion parts. If your familiar with the way a two stroke engine works, the fuel and oil enter the lower end of the motor where the crankshaft is. When the fuel and oil is dumped into that area, the oil portion of the fuel lubricates the lower end and piston walls and the gas evaporates up through reed valves ( which are nothing like your car valves and are not mechanical) and is combusted in the combustion chamber and then it happens all over again. The only moving parts in a two stroke engine are the crankshaft and the piston unlike a 4 stokre engine which has a crankshaft, a piston, lifting rods, or hydraulic lifters, and a separate exhaust valve and intake valve, and on most cars there are more than two of each. You might notice a little more pep out of your engine and the higher the octane the better burning with the ethanol that's in the fuel lately, but I wouldn't spend the extra money on the better fuel if it is a stock engine 2 strokes are great in the fact that you really cant kill em. Hope this helps.
Using high octane gas in a 2-stroke engine is generally not necessary and may not provide any benefits. Most 2-stroke engines are designed to run on regular unleaded fuel, and using higher octane fuel can lead to incomplete combustion and potential engine issues. It's best to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for fuel to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the engine.
90 or 91 octane mixed 32 to 1. I run mine at 40 to 1, witch is 16oz. to 5gals. gas.
For a two-stroke oil-injected snowmobile, it's generally recommended to use regular gasoline unless the manufacturer specifies otherwise. Premium gas can offer higher octane levels, which may help prevent knocking in high-performance engines, but most two-stroke engines do not require it. Always consult your snowmobile’s owner manual for specific fuel recommendations to ensure optimal performance and avoid potential engine issues.
The question is, what octane does the motorcycle require?If it needs 92 or 93, and you mix 87 and 93, you are probably not meeting the requirement. That could damage the engine due to pinging.Lower Octane means a more powerful and hotter explosion. Octane ratings vary, usually due to stroke time or compression ratios which increase the temperature of the air in the cylinder and pre-ignites the gas mixture (pinging), sometimes it has to do with aluminum in the head. If your bike manual asks for 92, put in 92.Lower Octane = More powerful explosion, very short burn time, hotter burnHigh Octane = Weaker and slower explosion, colder burn.Putting higher octane fuel in a lower octane engine usually results in poor perfromance because the power stroke has finished while the fuel is still burning.
There isn't a direct correlation between displacement and horsepower. Whether the engine is two- or four-stroke, the compression ratio, the stroke, etc. will all factor into what the performance specs of the engine are.
In my point of view two stroke engine is the best engine ,because in two stroke engine there are only two stages or two stroke .In which one stage complete the two process frist is suction & second one is compression ,in these two process completes in one stage. The best advantage of this engine is the in every cycle there is a power stroke due to which the engine performance is very good . But the biggest disadvantage is the fuel consumption . Which after some time reduced by the resarcheres.

Explain the advantages of four-stroke engine over two-stroke engine
NO, it does not... there has been a lot of mis-conception about this topic and being an engineer have been told several times, and have indeed mathematically shown that octane does not affect the efficiency of the engine. the octane rating is simply a rating that shows a fuels resistance to detonation and nothing more. You can confirm this by doing a little research on the Otto cycle (4 stroke standard gas engine) and understanding that when 93/98/87 octane fuel is burned, it releases the same amount of energy. the reason that this myth probably exists, is because higher performance (and higher efficiency) engines use higher compression ratios and have a tendancy to detonate lower octane fuel (knocks). also takes longer for the gas to ignite.
A 489 cubic inch (ci) engine typically refers to a big block V8 engine often used in high-performance applications. The bore and stroke measurements can vary depending on the specific engine build, but for a common 489 ci engine, the bore is usually around 4.310 inches, and the stroke is about 4.250 inches. These dimensions contribute to the engine's displacement and overall performance characteristics. It's important to note that different manufacturers or custom builds may result in slight variations.
