Premium pump gas of 91-94 octane is overkill and completely unecessary on a stock bike. Because of manufacturing variations and condition variations some bikes may run better on slightly higher octane, typically the midgrade level of 89 octane.

Lots of bikes come jetted on the rich side that is prolly why it runs better with lower octane. The Raptor should be fine with midgrade fuel - ETHANOL *CRINGE* [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]

Heres a link to one of the best octane articles ever written:
Octane vs. Horsepower
This article addresses the positive and negative effects of too high or low an octane rating for specific engine characteristics. Hopefully it will clear up any misconceptions you have. Enjoy!
