Where did we start to get people who are so rude when someone asks a question? I have used the search function many, many times on this site. It sucks! I have answered questions as they were repeated many times as well. If you aren't in the mood to deal with the "stupid" questions (that we all ask from time to time) you don't have to answer. And you probably shouldn't.
Jeepster, you should remember that tune boy is ONLY a tool for tuning. It will allow you to tune a few things like the rev limiter, speed limiter and to open the secondaries (but not from idle!) but it is of limited use if you haven't done a lot to the bike. If you haven't done a lot to the bike, you probably aren't going to need it. If you are not going to a dyno (that can use tune boy) or you aren't inclined to screw around with it yourself then you will probably be better off spending your money elsewhere.
RTFM (Read the manual) is not a complete answer to the question about octane either. The recommended 87 octane, (in my manual here in the US) appears to be a lot different for people in other countries, many with very different qualities of gas. The salient points are that the engine is low compression, and higher octane burns slower, thereby decrease knock, (ping) but not making greater power. Therefor don't go to a higher octane to go fast. A built motor with higher compression may require higher octane gas, but it is not the gas that makes it fast. If the combination you currently have is truly knocking, (pinging) I would absolutely run the gas that works, or I would change the tune. Detonation,(pinging or knocking) is a deadly event in a motor and can destroy the motor in a relatively short time.
Now anybody who wants to go right ahead and pile on me if you feel the need, but lets remain a place to come for answers, not abuse. :lol: :lol:
