I don't need to read RW's site because when I have a question I just call him on the phone, besides some of his info was supplied by yours truly (sprocket change an rpm's) You might want to watch for some pics of me doing the valve adjustment on the 800 that will be added this winter to his site ). What I'm getting at is burning low octane fuel is what you need to burn in the 800 period, an your right about other bikes needing to burn higher octane fuels ,but we're talking about the 800 in here at this moment an not other bikes . You might read up on Rw's site a little more yourself an you'll see where he talks about the 800 an carbon build up,due to higher octane fuels.

While we are talking about gearing and rpms.

I have a question. As you know Woody, I have changed to the 18t front, and now I'm thinking of changing the rear to a 40t. But I ride 2up a lot and was wondering if going to the 40 rear will lug my 800 too much on take off. I am still running the stock air box, with debaffled stock pipes, epa junk removed and pilot screw out 2 and 1/2 turns.
