Depends on you, I put 87 and get good gas mileage and performance. Some put in 89 and some 93.
It depends on you and how the bike act with certain grades of gas.

Your bike does call for 91octane minimum. There is a sticker on the tail section under the plastics...

Actually, Johnyquest is just quoting what the sticker on the LEFT SIDE frame under the plastic on your seat says (or your manual). You may do as you please. Indeed your bike would run on ****, if it burned.

My manual calls out for atleast 86 and my bike is a 97. I guess from the 97 to 98 model it changed.

Redzintimidator said it best. Only the best. I have put lower in my bike and it runs fine, but I do it just to be sure. Every bike I ever owned I have put 93 in it.
