Do you guys run premium fuel? It's what I always fill up with and it seems to make my bike run smoother - any negatives/positives about this? Oh yeah and when you guys change your spark plugs do you use a torque wrench to specific 9ft-lbs or just go a quarter turn past snug? Thanks!

I ran 91 non oxygenated fuel in my F3 and use it in my F4i as well.

For the plugs on my old F3, I did quarter turn past snug.

Lol - Thanks for the answers! It's what I figured and i'm glad nobody buys the thieving 89 gasoline right in the middle.

I run 93 in mine. I get better mpg with 93 and I don't have to remember what vehicle or bike gets what lol. All we own gets 93. I could have put 91 but since 91 isn't really around here I started the 93 and after I noticed some kick in performance as well as the better mpg I never stopped.
