To all;
I have been using any fuel that is available here in the USA in my @. It
doesn't seem to care what I put into the tank. I have had no preignition or
"pinging", it starts well, and the power isn't affected. The fuel has
ranged from 94 octane down to 84 octane. I really don't think it matteres
what you use, just try to get the best you can each time you fuel up.
In California it's 77 F. degrees today, should be a nice day to ride , 
Take care, all,
