I was under the impression that the XT660 engine is designed for minimum octane rating of 95.

I run mine on 98, (BP Ultimate) and it gives no problems. I have heard of people having problems with Shells premium petrol, something along the lines of it being designed for cars and not bikes?? Never tried it myself...

Kev might be able to help you with more specifics. Cheers, Boneman...
