Gas sensitive bike.

I found my 821 with poor fueling issues after using the gas from the Shell station next to the hotel. Low RPM bucking. Switched to Chevron and the issue went away.

Makes me wonder some finding poor fueling might merely try different gas?

As corrupt as the area of Italy I live in is, I was certain I was going to pumping highly cut fuel into my machine. Surprisingly, never noticed any fuel related performance issues. Good thing as it's almost impossible to find anything above 95 here.

Sometimes I have to use low octane and it does OK. I wonder if with the low usage of fuel during these COVID days, if you got some old fuel that had degraded in some way?

My fueling issues were from my 2019 Fall Sierras Color Tour group ride. I've been more selective since then. Symptoms matched the fueling issues some here have reported. I understand that Ducatis don't like parade speeds, as they want to GO. I was surprised at how quickly Chevron gas solved the issue.

I've certainly noticed fueling issues get worse on my 939 either when I get questionable gas or sometimes when it's running low. After the T800 however those issues are much less noticeable.
