87 octane...the cheap stuff. I figure that it revs to infinity and beyond without knocking so why waste the money...

I always run regular grade gas. Using Super/Supreme does not make the bike run any better. Here is a relative thread. http://www.ninjette.org/forums/showthread.php?t=15904

Regular. User guide says regular, so that means the bike was designed to run on regular.

On a side note, I do prefer to use name brand (Chevron) VS discount brand even though I have been told it all comes from the same place.

Under the passenger seat it says 91 octane for my cali model.
Besides the difference is like 20c a fill up, grab some change from your pocket. :P
