  5. Thanks guys - I took the bike out for a 45 mile run on Sunday PM, the weather was sunny and dry. I had 4 or 5 occasional misfires but on the way back she ran sweetly. Had to take it carefully, just had new boots fitted to the front and back. I'm just debating whether I can be bothered to change the horizontal plug. If only it were easier to get access too!

    Saw a another red Panigale on the way to Dorchester, guess it was no one on here?

  7. @Thunderbolt - It will be about 6 months old. It was Super and I added stabilizer but I'd still like to get some new stuff. It's got about half a tank, so I want to run it right down low and then fill up with fresh Super! Thats defo a possibility tho. Good shout :upyeah:

  8. Or fill it now and dilute the bad stuff?
    Then do a complete tankful?
    Great excuse for a ride!

  13. I remember reading that someone contacted Esso regarding ethanol or not in their super unleaded. I believe the reply was it it depends on the geographical region! So may be not all Esso stations are the same:(
