Default Scarlett Doesn't like Premium

Premium was all I ever used in Bertha, but Scarlett runs like crap on it.

What's up with that?

I would say whichever one she likes the best. If it's regular, kudos for you!

Its a stock bike for the most part, Right? What does your book say?

There is no best fuel, only one that's best for your engine setup...
