Thanks for all the info! I will definitely start reading the pumps for ethanol and will switch to Shell, etc.

I am running a tank of Chevron thru my bike right now, and I think it must be cleaning things up a bit. Not sure yet at this time,probably run a couple tanks before I see any difference mileage wise.

Always use 91 or 92 and I try to stick with the major brands.

I use 91 or higher the bike dies if I don't use it. Even with octane booster.

Shell Premium

As far as formulation and all not sure how much of a difference that makes but I always use premium wherever I buy it, 91-93 depending on brand. In VA all we seem to be able to get is the "up to 10% ethonol" version.
Not to get political but of all the major brands Shell is the only one that does not import any oil from oversees.
If they weren't as much as 50 cents a gallon more expensive I would definately use Shell.

What are Prices in Your area? We can get regular at the truck stop for $2.95, it had actually gotten down to $2.87 at one point. Premium runs about 20cents higher no matter where you go.

Any brand, 87 octane min. , no ethanol. Following the manual's directions...no issues.

I really don't worry about brand as much as the octane. Normal run 91 - 92 and have never seen any problems or the bike running any different from brand to brand even though all the commercials tell me I should

;Shell premium with a shot of 104 booster.... but also running a power commander to tune it in! Worked for a gas company for a while and there is a big difference in name brand gas and the cheap stuff. Also worked in a parts store and sold a lot of fuel filters, fuel system cleaners and oxygen sensors to regulars at the cheap gas stations. Run what works best in your bike, but i won't cut corners for what i have invested in my ride....

try to put highest octane with No ethanol

I went into a gas station the other day and said I wanted $5 worth of gas.....


.....The clerk farted and gave me a receipt...!!!
