RE: Gas Octane Question
ORIGINAL: dyna rider
All the new bikes I have seen had a sticker on th R/H rearview mirror that says you have to run 91+ octane in the bike. You probobly haven't ruined anything but I personally would not do it again.

Never seen such a sticker. \\; I don't remember my dealer telling me to run Premium either but I do remember going through my owners manual cover to cover when I got the bike. \\; I couldn't count how many times, though, I've pulled up to the pump and almost filled it with regular gas only to catch myself at the last second.

RE: Gas Octane Question
I run BP 93 octane and get knocking on hard acceleration ... I run cheap 89 octane from a small independent dealer and get none. \\; I also know a couple guys who run 89 in the EFI scoots daily and have no probs. \\; Stop obsessiong and just ride dat b!tch like ya stole it. [8D]
