I have been reading my owners manual page by page. Not something I usually do but I want to be a familiar with the HM as possible. I noticed the fuel requirements:

95
E
Important
Do not use any additives in fuel or lubricants.
Top-ups Type of fluid cu dm (litres)
Fuel tank, including a reserve of 3.3 cu dm
(litres)
Unleaded fuel with 95 fuel octane rating (at least) 12.4
Lubrication circuit SHELL - Advance Ultra 4 3.7
Clutch and front/rear brake systems Special fluid for hydraulic systems SHELL -
Advance Brake DOT 4
—
Protectant for electric contacts Spray for electric systems SHELL - Advance
Contact Cleaner

Front fork SHELL - Advance Fork 7.5 or Donax TA —

I don't even know where to buy 95 Octane. What's up?

That's 95 octane in Europe, they didn't bother to change it for the U.S. There's another thread on here about it.

Thanks. I guess I should have realized that the manual was written for the European market when the recommended tyre pressure is 2.2 bars
