Almost 4k on the odometer now, and have been running 91 octane, ethanol free fuel. Bike ran good, but would still ping ocassionally off idle, idle like a Harley, and sometimes ping slightly under hard acceleration. Today I by chance stopped at a Marathon station, one I never stopped at before, and saw they had 93 octane fuel. I filled my tank, rode a mile down the road to a coffee house. An hour later I started the bike and immediately noticed a difference. Man, different bike. Smoother, more power, better throttle response...idled better too. Going to experiment with octane boosting products as 93 octane fuel is hard to come by.
