i would try a little of the 87 regular & see how it does,dont fill it up . if it doesnt perform well , (as in noisey valves ,low power, poor mileage)then fill it with premium & stick to premium. also check in your owners manual for usable octanes, kawasaki dealership in your area can tell you also.
