That's strange.  I'd suspect that you got some bad 92 somewhere.

I'm sure some of you remember my inputs on this subject, and the emails that I had with Chevron Tech Department on the issue of 87 vs 92 octane.  No archives to reference, since that was before the board was toasted.

Chevron said all of their pump octanes burn at the same rate, and that there is no extra power (no extra heat release per volume) in 92 vs. 87 octane.

They will all produced the same amount of power if there is no knocking.  Once the engine knocks (pre-ignition of the fuel), then power is lost.

Manual says 87. Too high of octane = carbon build-up.  Compression ratio determines octane.

87 is all that is needed, but premium fuel burns ALOT cleaner. We have done several tests on this. I think its worth it on these bikes to run premium.
