When you use a gas pump that has all three grades coming from the same hose, your never sure what your getting for the first gallon or so. Don't worry about it, the best we can get in CO is 91.

welcome aboard...
Not sure where your dealer found that muppet of a salesman. You wont do any harm running a higher octane fuel. Hell the high the ron or octane number the better the gas is. If its pinking maybe your babying it to much and making the bike work harder than it needs to. Running in doesnt mean sticking it in higher gear and bimbling around just as much as it doesnt mean reving it to the red line in every gear. I noticed you said you have come over from sportsbikes dont forget harleys make more torque than anything else you have ridden before which can make you lazy. Whsilt running in use the gear box to build up speed whislt using smaller amounts of throttle.

I got my bike at Baymeadows Adamec as well. They were the first one to get the Fat Bob in the area and I made sure it was mine. That was back in September. Be looking for me, I am always out and about. Are you going to join JaxHOG? We just reached 500 members. Great group of people and they do a lot of charity work and have rides every weekend going all over the place. We are gearing up for Hugs not Hits this weekend and next month is the Lex and Terry Autism ride which we are volunteering to work. I'm running for Treasurer of the chapter so I need all the votes I can get! LOL j/k!! Next chapter meeting is on the 12th of April. It's usually on the first weekend at 9:30 in the morning but is being postponed a week this month and next due to the charity rides going on. Hope to see you there!
, I always run the highest octane I can get
