Hi James,
    Our wasserboxers are set up to run 87 usa octane. It should get the most
power and burn cleaner with 87.  However if it is timed too fast or has some
carbon build up in the cylinder heads it  could run better with higher
octane. I often run 89 with contains 10 percent alcohol to remove any water
and clean out the fuel system. A can of injector cleaner may work as well.
    That being said many run higher octane and claim better power and
performance. As always ymmv (your mileage may vary).
Darrell
