Per manual 2000 Yamaha VX 200/225:Recommended gasoline: Regular unleaded with a minimum octane rating of 86.
As for 89 being better if I recall correctly higher octane gasoline does not pass partially burned through an engine designed to run on lower octane fuels. It burns as completely as a mid-range-octane or low-octane gasoline. In fact, 93 octane will perform just as well as lower octane; it just isn't necessary to spend the money on it. The only thing that gets damaged when you run 93 octane in a motor rated for lower octane is your wallet. It's like putting synthetic oil in your car, then continuing to change it every 2,000 miles. It's wasted money but it's your call.
Mechanic told me that burning higher octane especially 90 and above will add to deposits in the 02 sensor.
