I use the lowest possible octane rating that the manual calls for.

Contrary to popular belief, gasoline's octane rating is not necessarily indicative of the horsepower that it generates. Rather, it is a rating of their resistance to combustion. So, if your bike runs well on lower octane gas, you really ought to NOT run a higher octane gasoline... you'd just be wasting money and actually retarding your engine's ignition.
