    Hello all I was hoping someone could help me with the best tire pressure for my 2000 VFR800FI,

    I was also wondering if a higher octane gas would make a difference in performance?

    Thanks,

    -Pete

    I always use what's in the owner's manual. I'm not a good enough rider to know any better.

    Dont worry about gas all that much. Tire pressure depends on lots of factors. Can you share more info?

    Share your road types, riding style, experience. Are you comin from another bike? Is this your first bike? First VFR?
    commuting, sport riding, touring,
    Etc. etc.
