And yet if i don't put Isopropyl Alcohol in my tank over winter it suffers badly from carb icing.
I do notice a difference when i've ever used 95 octane fuel before, so i nearly always use 97, and 99 every now and then, but once the temperature drops if i don't mix 200ml of IPA in with a full tank of fuel it's simply the difference between having a bike that runs absolutely fine, or otherwise runs like a complete shitter. I've had this confirmed by my mechanic as well, when i first got the bike around 10 years ago, and last year when i stupidly forgot to do it and he confirmed it again when it started running rough.
It's only about £16 for 5 litres and that's enough to easily get me through the cold spell.

More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.
