Default Sportsman fuel
I've bought a 09 sportsman 500 ho and was wondering if I should use premium fuel for it. Last time on the trail my brother was riding it and he said he thought it might be pinging a bit.

Just use the the manual tells you to. No manufacture is going to get close to detonation. They are very conservative when it comes to detonation.
