What octane are you guys running?
For those that have experimented with different octanes, which seemed to work out the best?

The recent posts on the MPG thread are getting into this question too.
Personally I'm running premium, but on my ride back to DC on Monday I plan to do one tank mid-grade, one tank unleaded and see what happens.

I used to run premium but recently I switched to regular 87 as recommended by the manual. I seem to be getting better gas millage with the 87

A dyno would show you are making better power too.
Premium is NOT NEEDED unless you have altered (read : Higher) compression signifigantly.

I've ran all 3. Currently this tank of 87 has my FZR running its smoothest.

I want to run some seafoam thru my bike this weekend, should I do that with 87 or 93?
