I would like to know which brand / type of fuel additive you would recommend.

It's a 2003 R1 and has done about 16700 miles now and I think it's time to clear her throat.

Thanks.

A good service (Change Oil, filters and plugs), some high octane unleaded( The really expensive one) from the pumps should be fine. Shes not even run in yet. ;)

On the subject of fuel (rather than additives); I put some 99 octane superplus in the TDM this week, as there was nothing else at the garage at the time. So; should I use it regularly to turn my camel into a thoroughbred, would it make no discernible difference, or would it ultimately demolish the engine?
