Default Bad Gas

No, not that kind of gas
This didn't happen to my R but it happened to my son's bike this week. He rides a 2007 yzf600r and was having problems with his bike. It would run fine and then at low speed coming up to a stop, it would just die. Then it would take a few minutes before it would start up again. The throttle would be non responsive. This didn't happen every time, only every once in a while. We took it to the dealer and they took a quick look at it and thought that he had some bad gas. We ran the tank down and filled up with premium. It happened once not long after filling the tank but since then, no problems. Has anyone here had problems with fuel?

Our manual says to use 86 octane or higher. I have been using a higher octane of 91. Am I wasting money?
