Default Octane

What gas ya all using? I was running regular and for some reason just started using using high octane but it's not doing any better. Switch back or what do you recommend.

Thanks in advance.

Mostly 91 sometimes 89. TBH doesn't seem to make a difference as to which one she runs better on.

92 octane non ethanol premium. Your bike will thank you and you'll get better mileage.

It's hard to find the stations that have a single pump for each blend. Most have the pumps with only one hose for each blend. So when you select 91 and the last person used 87 you get their left overs in the hose.
