Our bikes are not designed to run high octane.These are not cars.It doesnt help at all period.
Run regular 87 and be happy.

I have run 87 since day one with zero issues.

Gas mileage varies on riding style,gearing,weight on the bike,tire pressures,etc.
Are you sure about that? If so then why is this lable on my 96 F3?
thats RESEARCH octane not PUMP octane .THe f4i has a RON rating of 91 also but uses 87 PUMP octane.

Gasoline pumps typically post octane numbers as an average of two different values. Often you may see the octane rating quoted as (R+M)/2. One value is the research octane number (RON), which is determined with a test engine running at a low speed of 600 rpm. The other value is the motor octane number (MON), which is determined with a test engine running at a higher speed of 900 rpm. If, for example, a gasoline has an RON of 98 and a MON of 90, then the posted octane number would be the average of the two values or 94. High octane gasoline does not outperform regular octane gasoline in preventing engine deposits from forming, in removing them, or in cleaning the engine. Consumers should select the lowest octane grade at which the car's engine runs without knocking. Occasional light knocking or pinging won't harm the engine, and doesn't indicate a need for higher octane. On the other hand, a heavy or persistent knock may result in engine damage.

I always run the highest octane of 93 whenever I can. I really don't care about saving 20 cents a gallon, it only holds 4.9 gallons.

Last time i got that low MPG per tank was a weekend of mountain riding (high rpms most of the day).

How does the PC affect the mileage?

does having the -1/+2 sprockets get you worse gas mileage?

Yes it does, I had stock and was getting like 150 miles per tank in town, and I did -1 in the front and I only get like 120 in town now. But a small price to pay.
