When I first filled mine up I put 93 octane in because I didn't know at the time what was recommended. After reading the owner's manual I put 87 in at the next fill. It's been really hot here and I've noticed some very slight pinging so I topped off with 93 and will put 89 octane in the next time to see if that helps. IMO what I'm hearing is not the fuel injectors clicking, and I know what that sounds like because my old '09 Vulcan 900 made a lot of fuel injector clicking noises.
As for break-in, I'm over 300 miles now so I'm running it a little harder now, not too much (no redline yet) but I'm not babying it like I was.
