Where I live we have 3 grades of pump gas with the octane being 87/91/93. It is good to run a higher octane in your bike, however, if you are putting the gas in your bike and then using it, 87 octane will not hurt your machine. 87 octane hurts your bike if it sits for too long. If you plan on letting your bike sit for more than a week, you definitely want 93 or higher. If you are going to let it sit all winter without riding, you want to either drain the tank and run the gas out of the carb or mix some of the STA-BIL fuel stabilizer with your gas.
