Only Esso Synergy Supreme + is ethanol free, although marked E5, and only in specific areas.

Any other Supreme marketed fuels can contain up to 5% of shit.

After resetting the floats I've noticed there is still a small squirt coming out of my overflows most mornings. If I disconnect the fuel line from the tank this doesn't happen. The tank tap has had new seals/diaphragm. So I'm going to disconnect my fuel feed pipe from the tank if the bike is sitting any length of time.

Got a pair of Koni's off bro' gray fitted now, looking good. Respraying tank is I think next stage - big job

Re: float settings. Do not set float heights, always set by fuel level as floats get heavier with todays utterly shit fuels and also age.
