inderocker is an unknown quantity at this point
Fuel stations like Shell and Chevron really need to start offering an ethanol free fuel. Most likely it won't sell, as most don't know how bad it is for their car/cycle, environment, food prices, etc.... sigh.

I usuallly use 98 octane, but when I´m low on cash I use 95.
Somedays I use 99+ from Shell...

I tore apart the carbs on my 99 suzuki and all the orings in there have disintegrated into little rock hard cheerios. It's been in California it's whole life.

Not a fan of ethanol.

2000 VTR1000f owner's manual reccommended octane

I have my original owners manual for my 2000 SuperChicken & it says Any octane above 86 is safe to run in your bike. Not to exceed 10% Ethanol by volume. MTBE not more then 15% by volume. Methanol not to exceed 5% by volume. This come straight from page 77 & page 197

90 octane because that is what is available locally without ethanol, but it is $4.65/gal.
