I honestly can't tell any diference between any of the fuels in mine. It runs fine on all of them.
I have to run 16:1 avgas and 91 for the old iron motor. other than that it will runn on anything I can find.
My old 1340 used to run on 91. I'm not sure why you'd run high octane fuel in such a low compression engine?
My XLCH has quit high compression, pings on the hills with just 91
I usually run 91 in mine , have run 95 and 98 in it couldn't tell any difference.

'Fast' Harleys are only fast compared to stock Harleys.
Usually 95, sometime 98 but havent used 91..remember reading in the service manual to run highest octane you can..not sure if this is a must or just a good idea....might try 91 on the run to the rally next weekend....
Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead
Do not walk ahead as I may not follow.
Do not walk beside me as the path is narrow
In fact FU*K off and leave me alone
I have a 2000 FLHTCI that I run 91 octane in with no problems. Anything less and it will ping.
We use 91 in everything. It is the most stable and takes the longest to deteriate in the tank.
thanks all, i guess ill stick to 91

When I scored my hog the biker told me to use 95 octane as he said it has more lead in the fuel to keep the chambers coated .Then another biker further down the road told me to use one part aviation fuel mixed with 91 octane.This he told me gives better performance.Also putting lead deposits back in the chamber.AV gas is costly so now I just run 91,then maybe once a while I'll run 95 or AV just to keep my bike happy.,,,,,LTR![]()
I also am no angel,,,,,,but if the Harley had wings I'd ride it to the moon and back. !!
