Elevation does not make any difference other than better gas milage. I live at 3,000' and ride above 6,000 feet a lot. Fuel injection is sweet.
Even my FJR (145 hp) runs just fine on regular -thank you Yamaha ! When spending all day at or above 6,000' in Colorado my milage went from 43 to over 50mpg without the loss of power as a bike with carbs would do.
In Utah their regular is 85 octane and the FJR does not like it. Put in a tank full by mistake, the bike ran like crap at idle untill I topped off with 91.
