    My owner's manual says "86 or better."
    My experience is that I get better gas mileage with 87.
    I live nearer sea level and when I ride in the foothills/mountains (up to 4000' or so) I notice no difference.
    Those in Colorado may have different experiences WRT pinging and octane.
    Cheers,
