Just got a 2008 Boulevard M50. 18,000 miles, appears to be in good shape. I purchased it from a dealer and pestered them with 100 questions but missed a couple obvious ones. BTW, I've ordered a service manual, to arrive in a few days.

So, first dumb question of many I'm sure I'll have as the bike breaks me in. I haven't even put gas in it yet. Which grade should I use? And should I opt for ethanol-free if available?

Thanks in advance.

 

I have a C90T and I use premium or either ethanol free bikes were not made to run with ethanol that’s just me however

 

Where did you order your manual from?
