Agility 50 CDI Mod completed - need to use different fuel?

[mglasko]

I just purchased a used 2008 Agility... very nice machine.  Previous owner had already performed the variator boss and carburetor jet mods to squeeze out abou 36-38 MPH.  But I wanted a little more so I discovered the mod where you "cut the wire" by cutting into the CDI module.  Did this a couple days ago and got another 3-4 MPH out of the Scoot!

But now I wonder... do I need to use higher octane (89 or 93) fuel?  Any danger to the engine by making this CDI box mod?

Thanks,

No need for a higher octane unless you increase compression ratio.
