On the last leg of my tour yesterday, the only unleaded gas I could find was a higher octane ("95") than what is usually sold here in Indonesia. I'd been riding hard for about 300 km that morning, had an hour break on the ferry, then refueled. About 40 km after refueling I thought I could hear the engine's pitch drop a note or two, sounded deeper. At first I even thought I might not have put the air filter back in properly but that didn't make sense. Today it sounds 'normal' again.
Someone I know said it was a "honda thing" but I'm not sure it wasn't just a "fatigue thing". Curious to know if anyone else has experienced that? Never had anything as noticeable as that with any other bike.
