I have tried different Octane levels for my 1100 and I don't notice any real difference in performance.

What Octane do you use?

Here in Wisconsin I don't think it matters because it is all reformulated crap. It's all corn piss (ethynol). I use 87 figuring at $3.00 a gallon atleast it is fresher. Citgo reformulated screwed up my Dakota, wife's Venture, father-in-laws Sierra etc. guess the bike is next!
Last winter there was a fuelinjection epidemic in Milwaukee thanks to the EPA.:thumbsdow
