I live by the “all because it CAN run on 87 octane, doesn’t mean it should “
I personally use 93 octane. And realistically it’s not much more in price (in my area).
It may also come down to the modifications you have on your machine.
Though everyone has a different opinion about octane ratings and the use of them in their machines. I MAY not be getting any benefits from the 93 but I’m ok with it. And if I am getting an edge or benefit, then great. Either way I’m happy.

What octane you quad needs comes down to how much compression you are running.
150-165 psi compression will require 93 octane
The octane number is a detonation number.
The higher the number the higher resistance to detonation
If it is stock then it should be able to run on 87.
If not sure run a higher octane. Might cost you slightly more
My blasters seem to run much better on 93. I bought them used and had to have carbs rebuilt. My friend who did the work recommended 93.
I'll never use anything else.
I'm gonna run the rest of the 87 out of it and switch to thanks for you're input
