At the G2G today the R1 could not take the self ,due to the some tech problem..Later it took it..Acording to me.. Are'nt we suppose to use 97octane petrol and add some more octane booster to it..So that there is no kind of problem with it..??
Or we can run it directly on 97octane Petrol..
You mean the self/electric start..? 95 octane is what's prescribed. 97 will do just fine. No need of extra boosters over and above 97 octane. I'm sure Sunny's planned this out, so he should be okay on the trip.

I run with a mix of 97 and 91 when on a long ride. No complaints from either me or the R1
