In an ideal world, V-power, but its not an ideal world. I run my LCR (totally standard) on 95, and its fine. If I was doing a track day or something, I would run it on 98 for a couple of tanks before the event, and during, otherwise the hype of the world ending on 95 is utter crap. These engines are very sophisticated and perfectly capable of running on regular without issue.
Well said. Irrespective of the amount of power made in an LC or LCR, 95 RON is going to work perfectly fine without causing any damage. The things that affect the Octane rating required for use with an engine are compression ratio and timing. Now to be blunt the compression ratio is low on all car engines, (most production sprorts bikes run at anything between 11:1 and 13:1compression ratio and will happily run on 95 RON) so this is never going to be a factor. Timing however may be but that would depend on just how radical the various remap timings are. I would strongly suspect that any stage 1 remap available is not going to alter the timing so much as to preclude the use of 95 RON fuel. It may not be recommended but that's a long way from meaning it will damage your engine.
The manual clearly states 98/95 meaning either is perfectly safe to use regularly.
