I will post some pics when I get home from work....I still own a '07 ninja 250 that I have owned for a year and a half before that an older honda. I have been riding for a couple years now. I have not taken the beginner MSF course, but I plan on taking the more advanced course this year sometime.

I took it shortly after I started riding 12 years ago now. And because of the CG I get to take it again next month.

welcome to the forum!
I just can't see paying for the high stuff right now and I'm not sure if there is even a benefit for the SH doing so. I've never experienced pinging from running 87 and she seems to run fine with it aside from the occasional vtwin carb fart traits

Yeah I am actually from the small town of Oaktown near the knox and sullivan county boarders.
I think that I am going to try the higher grade gas first and change it up the next few fill ups to see if the bike preforms differently.

Buying high octane gasoline for use in a low compression engine is allot like taking extra vitamins.... you are just pissing your money away. Use the cheap stuff and be happy about it.

The SH only has 9.5:1 compression ratio which requires only 87 octane, but I've always run 89 just to be safe, since I like to twist it once in a while.
Detonation (ping) may not always be audible and it plays hell with pistons.
I found out last week that my wife has been putting 89 in our 98 4runner and 07 Tacoma. I said "WHAT, don't do that".
