I wouldn't say we have full service stations but we do have stations where THEY pump the fuel. I've never seen a single one pop the hood for a look in there though. Guess if you ask they might but I'm usually on my bike any time I've been forced to use that station. And wouldn't you know, I have to pump my own anyway.
The only reason some people are still alive is it's illegal to shoot them.

I ride a Wing so I only use regular. Every study ever conducted has indicated that using a grade more than your manufacturer recommends is a waste of money.
1999 Goldwing 1500
I use regular, no problems at all. I tried 93 octane and did not see any difference in fuel mileage or performance.
Highest Octane available!
Im riding a 2017FLHXS with SnS 465 camchest and a 2021 triglide 114 , both get the highest octane available at whatever station I happen to be in. Anything less and we get the ping/knock. I've never put additives as gas doesnt stay in my tanks very longOriginally Posted by radismukes
93 octane it makes me feel good and that’s all that counts besides my engine never had a complaint…😁..

2019 Tri-Glide.......
I have used both 87 & 93 and found no difference except for cost......
Guess I should see the manual and see what it says to use....

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
My manual says minimum of 90... usually use 93 as 90 isn't available locally. 91 to 93 when traveling. Tried 89, it pings/knocks.

2013 TRI with a 110 motor tts100 cams power tuned 93 octane

Now that I have the 117 motor I'm still using Shell Ethanol free 90 octane, if we're not near home then it's 93.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave in a well-preserved body, but to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting...Holy Sh!t What a ride!
if at home 90-93 if on the road 87 every other fill. April trip to Texas 1722 miles one way not one ping, highway speeds 70-80 mph. High temp was 50 that may have helped
I try to use 91-93 octane fuel, but only if it is a dedicated hose for that blend, otherwise you're just getting the 87 octane that was in the hose before you start receiving what you paid for. Very few ethanol-free pumps around here, but I always buy it when I find it. JMHO.
Highest premium at the gas station. Usually 91-93. 2020 TriGlide SE 447 cams, SE air , tuner and pipes. Never has pinged. Be Safe BK
Goldwing manual calls for un leaded regular gasoline 86 octain or higher.
Ridin' three and free. Ain't never goin' back

Usually Marathon 91 ethanol free when running local.
Prefer Marathon, Shell or BP Premium in that order when on the road but will run what I can get that is 90+ if necessary.

When I had my 1997 wing I always used premium. I assume because it had carbs it ran poorly on regular gas. When I got my 2017 I started using premium but after reading the manual I switched to regular and never noticed any difference.
