What is the compression ratio on the engine and altitude you are riding?
Unless the engine has a higher Compression Ratio (usually starting around 10 to 1 or higher), the manual is most likely not "translated" from China's RON over to USA AKI Octane ratings/numbers...
In most cases 87 is all you will need to keep the engine happy (85 is fine for "High Altitude riding" 5,000+ above sea level feet)
85 AKI (sold in USA) is close to 90 RON (sold in China)
87 AKI is close to 91 RON
