I know my bike used to run like crap the higher octane I used(I used to think Sunoco Ultra 94 was like the best stuff for the bike, I was wrong,) dropped down to 87 and was fine after that.

Yeah I agree..I thought that using the ultra was wonderfull for my bike...then I read the manual and said 87 reccomended..after switching the throttle seemed more responsive....I mean I was using ultra as soon as I picked up the bike and like 7 months straight after..thank god i switched to regular...thank god I actually read the manual..Thank god i'm seggsy..

When you go to a higher elevation also it only compounds the situation. Next time the bike does this make note of the ambient temp outside.
SOMEONE SENT ME THAT ANSWER SOUNDS LOGICAL

You and who ever wrote that (logical???) jibberish need to have their tools taken away from them!!

Like CBRBob says, today's machines automatically adjust to changing temps, humidity and elevation constantly. If your bike is running rough it has nothing to do with the outside environment. First place to check is the gas tank. With today's use of ethenol, gas can breakdown within days. And don't get me started on the gas stations who pump more water than fuel into your tank!! Keep in mind, that when you put the gas into your tank, that fuel could have been sitting in the stations tank for weeks. So if your favorite gas station does not have a thriving demand for gas you might want to change to another station who gets deliveries more regularily. Just my two cents!

i was joking about being logical by the way ........also i do agree the type of gas seemed to problem due to the fact that it hasnt happened again..........................thanks ................cliff
