we desperately need a local mythbusters team to settle this & other myths once & for all. oh & btw, I put 95, 97, even 92 & gasohol 95 while riding in Thailand, so far the engine still runs great. I do feel the engine was very hot when stopping at the traffic lights though. That time the bike was using 97.

I did a little experiment and filled up with RON95 instead of my usual 98 a while back.

Except for a little hesitation at the start when the ECU tried to control the knock levels, there was no difference after I went for a long WOT run.

As I always say, the ECU will compensate by retarding the timing. If you aren't knocking, you're fine.
