Been having fun doing some work-related, off-road ATV stuff and decided to get back into road bikes after 15 years. Just bought a '99 GS500E and have a few questions... What octane fuel is recommended? What general riding RPMs does this bike seem to like best?

Thanks
You only have two options, having fun or freaking out, and that's what it's all about.
