    It's fine. It actually will lose HP if you go to high. 91 should be about the most you want. Four Strokes don't need the high octane unless it's really modded for it.

    Nope, manual says 87. I'm just paranoid. I've never ran anything less than 91 in my race bikes and just can't break myself of the habit now that I run quads.

    You shouldn't hurt a thing. Thats what the manual calls for. You will just get more carbon build up, deposits, and impurites by running the low grade.
