Well, try it out then. I'd be very skeptical of that, though. I don't see why it would make any difference. Motorcycles are vibey, especially our bikes when they get high in the revs. I notice vibrations on my pegs all the time, and on my handlebars if I'm gripping too tightly.I'm having vibes from under the seats, pegs and tank and here normal petrol is not that great. I feel that it's mainly due to the fuel. Someone who was having the same issue used this STP octane booster in his R3 and reported that it worked great. And vibes were eliminated.

Seems unlikely, from a technical standpoint, and not feelings. Higher octane reduces the energy contained per unit of fuel. Higher octane supports higher compression and turbos.I'm having vibes from under the seats, pegs and tank and here normal petrol is not that great. I feel that it's mainly due to the fuel.

Ethanol is bad for engines? Guess I should let my WRX know that after 40k miles of being tuned for E85...While yes, a bike is tuned to be able to run on ethanol it is in no way a good idea. Ethanol fuel is really really bad for your engine, and doing some research from reputable sources will tell you the same. It is not just oil companies spreading propaganda, it is science.
In Australia at least, the user manual will say that it is tuned for Regular Unleaded (91/93 octane fuel), and it says that E10 fuel is "acceptable". Basically meaning yes, it can run on Ethanol but it is not recommended.
