Running 50:1 98 RON (Euro) with motorex fully synthetic, the central plug insulator is a perfect match for a bar of milk chocolate and absolutely no sign of detonation.

Fuel range is improved - I haven't done more than 1/2 a tank in one go yet but it looks like it will be good for close to 100km. Jetting is also consistent from 0 - 2000 m (N1EF#1, 165, 35)

I'm not sure why but the bike also seems to be a lot smoother with less vibration through the footpegs

The only gripe is the burble on the transition between closed and partially open throttle which makes the throttle an off / on / more affair rather than feeding in smoothly on the initial opening. Now that everything else is working I can experiment with the needles though.
Needle will fix it now.

Been posted numerous times.

Squish, float height, jet and forget..

I chased myself around in circles for a long time before I worked it out. On my 2013 the head was sent off immediately following the break in ride.
