This will not cause a problem. You may even find that you can run on lower octane w/o any problems

No it will not cause a problem but if you are running stock compression you should be running regular unleaded (87octane) instead of super unleaded on a regular basis.

why is that?
I've heard depending on the temp, 87 might even work better.

I may actually be wrong in saying you should use 87 on a stock bike. Bombardier recommends 91 octane on the DS. On the other hand I have heard other say 87 makes more HP on a stock bike. I want to say it was MrHP who said this.

Personally I would stick with what the manufacturer recommends.
