Thanks everyone for the kind welcome. I have a question regarding fuel octane, the manual says use 91 premium, which I'm using. I tried a tankful of 93 Sunoco Supreme and it appears the bike runs stronger, pulls harder with less effort and even sounds quieter. 91 Octane did not generate pinging or pre-ignition, but the 93 just seems right by the seat of the pants measurement system. I haven't checked yet, but I'd be willing to bet my mileage may be improved as well. Is this my imagination?
