How on earth is having your timing out going to feel better???!
Improvements in my head? I don't believe so. I can't gauge it on my current bike cos it's not running right, but it definitely made a difference on my previous ones. Don't ask me, ask the customers who had it recommended to them by Woodford Motorcycles. I never noticed any drop off of performance either. The idea behind V-Power is that it coats your cylinder wall with a friction modifier, as well as having detergents to remove any undesirable deposits, so improving performance. I'll take the word of the engineers who develop the fuel - I don't think it's just a conspiracy to make more bucks before they blow your engine up. There may be some truth that the fuel is too advanced for a 2001-2005 bike, but wouldn't Shell's extremely well-funded R&D department have thought about that before putting it on sale to Joe Public, who they know aren't all engineering geniuses?
