My old VN did a best of 6.9/100km when driven like a nanna. Driving like I normally do it was around the 10.5/100 and all that was on 91 with my tune in it.
Stock VN with stock tune will not make more power with 98, if it does it indicates there are issues with the engine which the higher octane fuel is masking.
Running leaded fuel will kill the O2 sensor eventually and considering the age of the car I'm not surprised the O2 sensor was dead. If I'm not mistaken, VN's had a 1 wire O2 sensor, at the very least I'd fit a 2 wire and earth it back to the block rather than relying on the O2 sensor earthing via the exhaust system/manifold.
Early VN's are up to about 1990. Where is the thermostat housing on your motor? If it's at the back then it's an early series motor.
I ordered a replacement and they sent a two wire one and I hooked that up and it didn’t work so I told them and they sent a replacement one wire that kinda works
Thermostat is on the front
