Regular or premium fuel?
I was told by my dealership to run premium fuel for better performance. Anyone have any thoughts?

I have always run Premium in my Spyders.

Read the Owners Manual and do what it says.
2008 GS SE5 in 2008
Traded at 43,000 miles for a left over
2010 RT SM5 in 2011
Traded at 57,000 for a left over
2014 RTS SE6 in 2015, which has 35,000 miles
Oct 19th, 2017, totaled 2014 RT while killing a Javaline
Dec 12th, 2017 drove a 2017 F3L home. What an awesome machine!
Never had any breakdown stranded issues.

As it stands...!!
you spent a pretty penny on your ryde you should give it the best. Higher octane, additives regardless of claims of more mpg or performance your difference is about a buck per tankfull...a buck..!! go on give her the best...

I try to run non-ethanol gas. Most times that's 93 octane but sometimes it's 89 octane. Both run well. My Om says I can run 87 octane.

91 when available, but not afraid to use 87 when that's all I can get.

Well, BRP and my dealer says premium is best for the bike so that's what I use. Mine does seem to run better that way.

To combat the ETHYL I use Marine " STARTRON " ( it's less expensive on-line ), and 87 octane my 1330 runs fine .......Mike

However; nobody is going to come to your house and spray paint the windows, shave your dog, break your car's windshield, and start telling nasty rumors about you, if you run 87...
All of the computerized stuff under the Tupperware will be perfectly happy to keep the engine from turning into a pile of molten debris...
...They just run better on the Good Stuff!
Shave your dog?
