91 will still work well. I doubt you get the high summer temps up there. I've actually ran 89 on my evo build with no problems at all with the Wiseco pistons10:1 and still got great fuel mileage...

It gets plenty hot here in the summer. 90s are common, near 100 or slightly over a few days each year.
I can run 89 in my TC95 with 10-1 with no problem.
Bob's evo is a rattle can with anything less than 94.
It runs out great and is very good on fuel, not so good on oil.

The heads are out at a shop getting checked over.
KB920 pistons in +.040 are on the way.
I rebuilt his front forks and replaced the steering stem bearings.
A new Russell front brake rotor is also on the way.
He had way too much timing in the motor, the Crane hi-4 was set for advance curve #6, explains why it needed 94 fuel.
The clutch was badly in need of adjustment, the pull feels like a new bike now.
It's a dirty filthy neglected bike, covered in engine oil mist and fork oil.
When I get it back together, i'll probably spend a day or two cleaning it for him- Just 'cause I have way too much time on my hands.
