Feeding the GS with Super Unleaded (RON 97+) could be hazardous for your licence!
I have been running the GS on Super unleaded since i got over 2000 miles the other week, and here are my impressions so far
bbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrroooooooom, brrrrrooooooooooooooooommmm, brrrrrooommmmmmmmmm, brroooooooooommmmmmmm, sqqquueeaallll! burble, burble, burble, clunk, brrrrom, brooom, burble burble (lights change) brrrrroooooooooooooooooooommmmmmm, brooooooooooooooooooooommmmm (etc...)
In all seriousness though, it seems to run better;
A few people have commented on the fuelling at or below 2.5K rpm, which was noticable if a put it in second and let it wander along off the throttle, this issue has disappeared on mine when running super unleaded
It appears to have a stronger pull from lower down the rev range, and even opening up the throttle at low revs it pulls more cleanly.
It also runs more efficiently, i'm getting around 10 miles more per tankful, which at 2p/litre difference between 95 and 97, it costs me less per mile to run the GS on super unleaded than regular.
Cruising on the motorway at 90+mph in 6th, if you open the throttle it seems to pull harder.
Also its much more easy to power wheelie (for those that are that way inclined)
Plus its better for the environment as i'm burning fuel more efficiently
Don't know if anyone else tried it, but these are my results so far...
