    What gas octane should I use in a 2007 FJR

    When I bought my 05 I filled her up with 87 for two or three tanks and noticed a slight tap, tap, tap. I changed to 89 and the tapping was gone overnight. I have thought about trying the 87 again but for the few cents difference it's not worth the tap dance so I'll stick with the 89.

    riding in the cold

    I like to ride all year here in Arizona. The problem is during the monsoon season the wind and sand will kill you. Luck was with me the last few years (10) and only got rained on twice (honest) and both times this year.
