Mine runs fine, but not better. Though I do seem to have slightly worse MPG on Super.

I stick a tankful in occasionally as it's a better quality fuel and has good cleaning properties which can't be bad.

These bikes are not designed to be run on Super unleaded, but like Rob I put a bit in now and again as a treat for the cleaning additives. :wink:

The super unleaded could have been sitting around longer in the petrol stations tanks, they get a much higher turnover of the normal unleaded.

Mine runs badly on super too.

Optimax makes mine run better. That's form experience, not theory, before anyone tells me that it can't possibly happen.

On the other hand, I don't often use it as I'm tight and th difference is marginal and I can beat red and blue torms on paraffin :lol:
