The user manual for my 2012 BMW G650GS call for 87 octane gas and that's what I have been running in it since I got the bike. For winter storage I add some fuel staibilizer.
Never had an issue with it. She's always started right up come spring :D
If you guys are taking the V-Stroms I'd like to tag along as well :) ...back on subject...have the GPS version on SD card of the mapbooks as well and can echo Mike's posts.
One more thing to consider about the tires is their age. Just because they were installed last year doesn't mean they're new.
I'd check that manufacturing date on them ->

Ford in Europe is different than here. Same goes for GM, when Trump says that GM doesn't sell NA cars in Europe that's not true.
GM owns Opel and manufactures parts etc. for them here. Same goes for Ford.
So although not many finished products (cars) are exported there, parts & engines are.
I currently ride the above mentioned G650GS. It sure has enough power to comfortably pass cars on the 400 series hwy but is also light & nimble enough to take it off the beaten path.
These things have been around for some number of years -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_G650GS
I got mine...
BMW is having production issues with the G310R (basically street version of the G310GS) and the delivery has been delayed.
Don't think there will be any G310GS available this year.
