Nahh the gas station I use is on a long twisty road next to Lake Ontario so between the boats and bikes they go through a ton of 90 non-ethanol and they sell top tier gas. Granted I don’t know about the owner before me.
And no, not much short shifting here. My favorite thing about this bike is how much torque there is when I bang through the gears from a stop. I mostly upshift between 4-5k. When the rpm’s are low on this bike it’s a pretty dull ride. The bikes too perfect!
