Howdy Trollie, congrats on the new ride. I believe the Owner's Manual will tell you to use 89 octane or higher. My bike does fine with that but I put Premium in it when I'm going to be riding in hot weather or heavily loaded.

As for light on torque, maybe you're just used to that S4. I know my bike will beat most bikes (of the folks I ride with) off the line - and it's bone stock. It's possible that someone has changed out the drive sprocket for one with more teeth (18 vs the stock 17). You might check that. The T3 engine makes it's peak torque around 4000-4800 RPM but it makes power all the way up to the redline.
