Use it, no benefits... might as well throw it tbh.
Same as redex, does absolutely nothing.

What do you want to boost the octane for? Your bike is designed to run on worse fuel than we get in this country.

Hi

Looking around I can barely find anything on that fuel additive, and nothing suggests it is an octane booster (not that boosting the octane of your fuel would do you the slightest bit of good).

Looks like it is just a fuel additive aimed to reduce the buildup of deposits in the engine. Pretty much all redex is meant to do (and most modern fuels should already be pretty good at that).

All the best

READ THIS:- Octane Ratings
And if it ent broke, don't fix it.
So, stick the stuff on a shelf and save it for if you ever come across an old vintage cafe racer or something, that has 14:1 compression ratio, or use it to light the bonfire on Guy-Fawkes.

Substitute 'Goggles' for 'Octane Booster'.

(unless you're running an engine setup which is suceptible to detonation of course.... which you aren't!)

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Many additives contain toluene which is pretty good for cleaning fuel systems. That's the only benefit you might see.

Oh, another thing, never ever use anything from an opened bottle that someones given you. It could be sulphuic acid for all you know.

I had a pal who half filled the fuel tank of his minimoto with "octane booster" and wondered why it wouldn't start.
