I just bought my f4i this week and the dealer told me it needed premium, but then i looked at the owners manual and it said the to use 87 or higher. Im gonna try regular 87 next time i fill it up. If the owners manual recommends it then i dont see how it could hurt.

Stock bike, some say 89 is fine....I run 91+ though...its not like its that much more per tank when our tanks are only 4 gallons anyway. I say its more important to get high quality gas at 89 octane then watered down 93 octane. Your tank is small. get good quality.

87 is fine on stock F4i. the owner manual says it will be fine.

i have an 06 F4i bone stock and i run 93 or 94, which ever station im at. hell it only costs 9.00 to fill up on 94, so why not.

i put in 91 or 93 depending on whats available even if gas gets to 3.00-4.00 and hour its still 9.00-12.00 to fill up so i dont have a problem in putting it in. Also in my car i noticed it was better so when i got the bike i didnt even think twice about what gas millage i put in it.
