Question, at what point is 92 octane or higher recomended? Lets say that the
stock Yamaha 1200 at aprox. 120 psi can run on 87 oct. If we were to up the
compression, when would we need to up the octane? 130?, 140? Is there a chart
to break this down for me? Thanks for any info........... Tom Roach

Assuming all variables the same in your example, and you are only upping
compression, 155 is about the limit for 92.

compression have no effect to octane the real answer is on the ports and a
real compression radio not the psi you reed on the comp tester
is true if you rase the compression you have to race the octane the
question will bi you eng is port o not you timing squish band an real cc on
the domes

You can very comfortably go to 150 psi on a stock GP 1200 engine with 92
octane fuel. I raced a modified GP1200 and XL1200 for 3 years in offshore
endurance racing (i.e.: WOT for long periods of time) using fresh 92 octane
pump gas with no problems. The only thing I would be VERY wary of, is
removing the choke plates with the stock carbs. Without the choke plates
and the resulting restriction in the intake tract, the stockers have been
known to have a part throttle seizure problem that CANNOT be corrected by
jetting. I now run Red Top's and part throttled seizure is not a problem.

I've run with the chokes out for 3 years, with 150 psi, F/As, rejet, etc. -
with no such problem, nor have I ever heard that from anyone else running
with the same mods. Apperantly it's known to you, but not me, the rest of
the GP crowd, Riva, Pro-Tec, Group-K, etc.

Rick if you cranking 150 lbs at Sea level your engine needs 95 octane fuel.
The only reason it has not gone to scrap pile is that you flooding it with
extra fuel, which in turn waists money and energy. I have yet to see fuel sold
by advertising cranking pressure.
Besides that, stock ignition on Yamaha cannot handle high CR ratio. This
information is based on my pesonal experiance, and hard enginiering data, it
has nothing to do with, hillbilly tuners, magicians, poets, carpenters,
carburetor paddles, or professors with PHD, MS and BSSSSSSSSSSSSS diplomas. LOL

Sorry George, but I've been runing with 150 psi at sea-level to +400 for 3
years on 91-92 pump gas without problems. So have thousands of others,
using Riva, Pro-Tec and other's rec heads, that take cranking pressure to
150-155 psi.

on 92 octane w/150# compression. Any more compression than that would

Yap right Fagan. Show me a gage that reads with in 10 lbs accuracy. I love
to see you guys attempt to build say 125 cc shifter cart engine using
compression gage, where variation of 0.57 cc trapped volume equals 10 lbs
difference in cranking pressure and requires 8 octane increase in rating
of a fuel. What do you mean carbs tuned correctly? What is correctly tuned

Bryan don't be sorry for me. Be sorry for poor sucker that cant figure out how
to use burette, and calculate corrected CR ratio. Them factory engineers must
bin thinking with their other head when they design engines and publish
corrected CR in their manuals. Are you telling me that you don't know how to CC

I didn't say anything about the factory engineers. My point is simple -
aftermarket companies market products that are safe, and publish certain
specs regarding said products. In the case of the Riva, Pro-Tec, etc. rec
heads, that are advertised as 'pump gas (91-92_ octane) safe, they are
designed, taking everything into consideration, to provide at MOST 150-155
(depending on brand) psi. That's with the BEST conditions. Obviously, if
you are riding with the same head in Colorado in 100 deg. (hey, it could
happen :) weather, it's not going to 150 psi, duh. But it's still pump gas
safe. Yes, I certainly know how to measure the volume of a top-end and
compute cr - that has nothing to do with my point. That point being, you
are wrong, in stating that a Yamaha 1200 with a cranking pressure of 150psi
needs 95+ octane gas! Tell me, how did you convert down to find the octane
requirement from the 150psi pressure?

George, we're not building 125cc shifter karts. Correctly tuned carbs on
a gp1200 are the ones that pass VE 920's:)) Simple bolt ons don't always
have to be as complicated as you like to make them appear. There is a
time,place and need for the exacting type of tuning and building you

Fagan that is exactly my point. The reality is this. When engine is over
compressed it will survive but at the expense of economy. It dos not many
any sense to even consider cranking pressure at all. You know dog gone
really well that must gages do not read even close to each other and some
are 20 lbs off. Now lets suppose some one end up with gage that reads 15 lbs
lover then suggested in this NG, and runs down to local machine shop to
whack some stock off the head to bring pressure up with out any
consideration to squish, and by doing so screws up his engine. Is this
possible ? You bet, it happens more often then you think. Lets see, you bin
around long enough to realize that besides cranking pressure the are other
factors which need to be considered. Why not tech new comers to do it right?
What's wrong with you guys? Do you really believe that average person cant
grasp basic formula related to volumes and compression. I believe in doing
job right first time, instead of wasting money, and subject your engine to
wear end tear, for no other reason than stupidity based on cranking
pressures. I like to make money, but not at the expense of some one else's
ill advice.
I also believe that it is best to learn how to do job right way instead of
re learning screw ups late on in life. You have your opinion, and I have my.
Why should you be upset over my statement. Your opinion dos not concern me,
why is it that you should worry about my answers? Dog gone, if you go to
put out fire, do you apply less energy to small flame then big one? Come on
get real.

So what you saying is that you know effects of the CR ratio and yet you think
that minimizing education will produce better results? When you ship finished
product do you specify cranking pressure, or volume? Did you ever see any
gasoline advertised using cranking pressure? I say one more time. IF STOCK OEM
CYLINDER YAMAHA 1200 ENGINE OPERATES ON 91-92 OCTANE FUEL CRANKING 150 PSI USING
LAB TYPE GAGE AT SEA LEVEL AT 60 DEGREE TEMPERATURE AND BAROMETER READING 30
INCHES. THEN IT IS WASTING LOTS OF ENERGY AND MONEY SPECIALLY AT HIGHER
ALTITUDE. AND IF CARBURETED CORRECTLY THEN IT COULD LOOSE CYLINDER WHEN GOING
THROE SHARP TURNS. The only reason Yamaha engine survives over compression is
because it is blessed with the weakest ignition on market. My research indicates
that spark plugs actually miss fire under heavy load due to low amperage
ignition. PS I have yet to see after market head designed to be spot on, in
volume, CR ration, and Squish velocity. Must of them re inventing the wheel.
Many engines run very well on properly reworked stock head. In fact must after
market heads screw up cooling of the cylinders and create huge problems. The
only time I use after market head is when I cannot get volume low enough for my
engine design.

So then, what you are saying, is that you have first-hand experience, like I
and many others on here do, with a Yamaha 1200, with stock, Riva and Pro-Tec
heads, and with the stock and Riva higher-output ignitions? And you also
know what the specs are on the Pro-Tec head I'm running right now? Let's do
a test - post what specs you have observed with a Pro-Tec rec 150psi head,
and then I'll post what mine is actually at.

And I'll tell you what - I've ridden that last 100 modified hours on my
Yamaha 1200 at 400 ft., in less than 60 deg. weather (Michigan), with a
cranking oressure of more than 150psi, measured with a Snap-On gauge, on 91
octane, and takes HUNDREDS of hard turns. OOPS - no problems. And guess
what - it was not due to your ignition theory - I've been running with a
high-output Riva ignition on most of those hours.

Danel by observing actual cylinder combustion. Yes I have the means to visually
see it. Yamaha system uses low voltage high amperage charging system. This means
that condition of battery determines the input amperage to the CDI system.
Slight changes in input results in huge changes at the output.

Tom by now you must be totally confused. My advice to you, is this: Do not listen
to people who talk about gages and cranking pressure. Do not walk but run o way
from such. Pressure gages do excellent job on welding equipment, air
compressors, inflating tires, and many other functions. The only thing cranking
pressure is good for on your engine, is to let you know that your engine is
terminally ill if pressure drops 20 lbs or more between cylinders. Learn how to
do a visual inspection, do not become statistic of the CHOP SHOP TUNERS AND THEIR
FOLLOWERS. Go to my web page read CHOP SHOP documents. This is what happens to
people who have their engines designed using cranking pressure.

George, I used to be an avid reader and occasional contributor to this news
group. I got away from it because of just this kind of diatribe and the
inevitably name calling that ensues. This poor guy just wanted to know how
much one could increase compression safely while using 92 octane. Most
people reference an increase in compression in terms of psi as determined
by performing a cranking compression test. Most people also know that
increasing compression requires detailed engineering calculations to
properly reshape and reduce combustion chamber size to achieve the desired
result or C/R. Most people have the modifications to their existing head
done by a professional like yourself or purchase an aftermarket head. In
both cases the detailed engineering is performed by someone else.

I believe that you would have to agree however that in both cases the
easiest way to measure and verify the results of the modification is by
checking cranking pressure with an accurate compression gauge. I know that
numerous variables affect the results in some cases however, most of the
time the results of increasing the compression ratio will increase the
cranking pressure. I think of this test as nothing more than a guide and
verification that there aren't any other problems that I may not have been
able to identify during the r&r of the head. In other words, if I install
my modified head on my 1200 and I get cranking compression readings that
vary significantly from my expected 150psi or between cylinder and cylinder,
I know I have a problem that needs to be investigated and corrected. I just
consider it a "retest" if you will, that indicates that the detailed
engineering calculations and careful machine work have been done correctly.
It also provides a "rough" baseline for comparison during future.

My post was generic on purpose because of the assumptions described above.
Additionally, I noted a problem with the carburetion of this particular
engine that has caused many more seizures than overly aggressive increases
in compression.

By the way, as for your "comments" regarding masking problems with a weak
spark or "flooding it with extra fuel", I run a Riva CDI and my fuel burn
is only 14.5 gph . Considering that 14.5 gph is the burn rate of a stock GP
1200 according to Yamaha's own documentation, I don't think I'm floodin'
it. When you also consider the boat will radar at over 65 mph in race trim
and ran like this for over 150hr of race, test and recreation riding with
ZERO problems, that ain't bad. Just ask my competition. LOL

In closing, let me just say, "lighten up". From your "hillbilly tuners,


magicians, poets, carpenters, carburetor paddles, or professors with PHD,
MS and BSSSSSSSSSSSSS

diplomas" friend.

exactly what I mean. Post of this nature dos not promote knowledge, it leads
people back in to dark age. It promotes illiteracy regarding engine design and
modifications, it rubs people from money which must do not have to blow o way on
experimenting with gages, and re educating screwed up wana be tuners, worst off
all it inflicts damage to professional tuners, and after market companies. Avery
high school student should be able to learn how to use burret, and basic
compression formula. Like I said be for. I pity tuner who picks up type of
techniques described by you. And I feel sorry for poor sucker who attempts to
modify his head using pressure gage. To make long story short. Go to my web
page, read document CHOP SHOP. This is what people like you promoting, and this
will never fly in my book. Don't under estimate power of reason, there are many
people who are capable of reading between the lines, and see the light, these
are the one that I welcome in my shop. That is why I stick around, roll in dirt
with scum bags, promote education, and make life miserable for pressure gage
tuners. What ever it takes I will get my point true. If you wish to promote
quality and education, you are my kind of person. If not, then we have nothing
left to talk about.

Actually you never told me before. It must have been one of the dozen or

keep track with so many. Nothing wrong with you responding, but I was
just pointing out that you were out of context. Once again, what does
him saying that his previous ski a GP1200 seized and you infer that his
GP1200R seized. Not that it matters to me but I was just trying to
straighten out the misconception you had. I have gotten on Jim's case
before in other matters and being the fair person that I am, I will give
credit where credit is due, such as this case of mistaken seizure of a
GP1200 instead of a GP1200R. I just saw the thread going in the wrong
direction again so I clarified what was posted.
Also, you definitely will not tell me to not voice my opinion in a

My point is, I pretty much agree with what you are saying, increasing
compression should be done by professionals. With their calculations and
experience, they can safely perform the modifications. Cranking pressure
change is only the result of such a modification.

Tom,
All these stupid posts and not one answer to your question, unfrickinbelievable.
It's safe to say that without getting overly technical, you can run 150 lbs.
compression and still use 93 octane. I have yet to meet anyone that has seized
their motor for just that reason. I've been running (yes, heads done by Kerry) my
heads at 165 lbs for over 120 hours with no seizures from compression. I've had 4
rebuilds and bunches of pistons replaced but each time it was something
stupid....eg, leaves sucked up in head, wire tie caught under carb, water
strainer break open and flood carbs with water, etc, etc...
I'm not recommending that you go any higher than 150lbs on 93 octane, simply
telling you what has worked for me. I know a few that had problems but you
shouldn't put a wrench into someone that is totally mechanically uninclined.

I was just trying to make the point that though there is much more than just
compression to be considered, the answers became far too complicated for what
the poor guy wanted.... any aftermarket head manufacturer would have told him
that it's safe to run 150 lb compression with 93 octane.
And for anyone that wants to rebutt that, show me just ONE, only ONE aftermarket

That is correct. Real problem begins when person dos not realize that cranking
pressure is effected by host of other factors, such as Relative Air Density.
Design and accuracy of the pressure gage. Mechanical condition of the engine. I
have seen to many engines butchered by pressure gage tuners, that is why I spent
so much time warning others to run o way from this type of practice. Take a

George,
Don't start your fucking bullshit with me. Call ADA, Cold Fusion, Bill O'neal, Riva,
ProTec, ANYONE, I mean ANYONE and simply ask if they use their products and raise
their compression to 150lbs if they think it is safe to run 93 octane.
Under NORMAL circumstances, not ONE will say no.

Get real and quit over analyzing everything, the guy simply wanted to know if he
raised the compression a little, what octane would he have to use. You know damn well
that he probably will go get a Pro Tec or Riva head or whatever and the bottom line is
under NORMAL conditions he could use 93 octane with 150lbs of compression.
And as far as Kerry's handy work, I didn't tell a lie, I've got 126 hours on my ski, I
put his heads on at 6 hours with 150 lbs of compression and at 35 hours, I used his
heads with 165 lbs of compression. I've measured the squish and it was in line with
what YOUR own data specs said in an article YOU wrote. I've never had a failure from
his heads. Failures from stupid shit, maybe, but not from his heads.
Perhaps I got lucky but I don't give a shit, the bottom line is it worked for me.
You know, for a supposed Christian fellow, you sure are fast to throw out the first
insult, friends or not, you are definitely not selective who you attack.

tolerance for the person who is eager to rip in to some one else's pocket
and play tuning games . If I did not you can rest assured that people who
you personally know very well, Ben, Larry, David and James would not even
consider visiting with me. Yet this boys enjoy avery minute in my "BACK

gripes? Why would people come to my school from practically each state,
Canada, Australia, and Europe? Do you understand what I'm talking about?
Why would people sent their engines 3000 miles o way from home, when they
have, best tuners with in 200 miles? Believe me as long as you guys
continue to instruct people in use of pressure gages, provide bogus
jetting, ignition, and tuning data, I will be busting as many as I can.
That is a promise which I made to my customers who suffered tremendous
loses in past 8 years dealing with what you call tolerable CHOP SHOP
tuners.
Now lets get down to real business. Lets consider 1998 triple stock OEM
Yamaha. Total Volume 1130.521 cc. Bore 84 mm. Stroke 68 mm. Stock OEM Port
opening 87.133 degree. Stock OEM head volume is 44 cc. What is the cranking
pressure of this engine at Sea level at 60 degree F and barometer reading
at 30 inches of mercury?
Next lets look at Yamaha GP2000R. Bore 80 mm. Stroke 78 mm. Stock OEM Port
82.707 degree. At Sea level 60 degree F. 30 inch mercury reading. What is
the cranking pressure of this engine? Once and for all, pleas post octane
requirement versus cranking pressure, from 120 to 220 lbs, @ Sea level. 500
feet, 1000 feet, 2000 feet, and 6000 feet. Fagan I consider you to be sharp

is to record his existing EGT under a fool load and start tuning for

Good choice Mark. No meter what, I consider you to be real friend, even if I have to kick your
ass from time to time. Get some fresh air, and stop to smell the roses. I hate to see you
running it to another tree, or David Haynes, Ronnie, Larry, and James. LOL

Jim it makes no difference what name you use, I will always recognize

I said that his brain is gone? He changes his provider, and signs his
real name at the end of the post.
