I have not (yet) had any problems with low octane petrol but so far I have used mostly high octane.
This bike will not be equipped with double-plugging; if I get problems I will solve it in another way.
The gearing is original (for R80GS) except that the bike is fitted with an 18” wheel.

Thanks for the feedback. I will maybe rethink which way i will go, although I very much doubt my next bike will be a BMW.
