Weird though that the manual that came with my bike says it shouldn't have anything lower than 91, I've used regular (87 i think) for the last 3 years with no problem.  :dunno_white:

http://cgi.stanford.edu/~sanjayd/gs500/Main/General (http://cgi.stanford.edu/~sanjayd/gs500/Main/General)  See info under Fuel Type... 87 octane in the US = 91 or whatever specified in the owners manual

that says Fuel: RON 90.

I took this to mean minumum 90 octane.
