well your already saving a heck of alot money with the amout of gas the bike takes, hell treat yourself to the premium. your engine will love you for it. that's just my opinion i guess. but i did hear that gas is gas, because premium does taste the same as regular. hee hee hee.....

Thanks!
The previous owner ran 92 octane and I switched to regular.
I can feel the improvement in performance.
My husband says it runs a little hotter then high octane but it will be okay with a liquid cooled engine.
He said that the octane slows combustion to avoid engine knock.

About a picture....
Someday when I don't have helmet hair.
