I've never messed around with the octane boosters. I use 91 ethanol free at the pump. Every few thousand miles I'll drop a few ounces of Sea Foam just to clear out any build-up in the fuel system.
I got some "bad" gas at a local gas station a few years ago. Said 91 octane on the pump, but the bike pinged. got some Lucas octane booster at an auto parts store and it worked remarkably well. I've never had to use it sone and the bottle just sits there with 90+% still in it. Lesson: it's rare to need it, but sometimes you do.
