...It is particuarly noticable on a low constant throttle (30 mph in 3rd particuarly) which seems to be what you've had, and results in the bike jerking around a lot and a delay in takeup of speen when you open the throttle.

No eggs here - I too have had similar 'problems' - at first I thought it was the crappy 85 octane fuel here in the US (actually I try to use super the whole time, but that's only 91, or 93 in Florida)... however, looking at the state of my cush drive now (it's pretty shagged), I too would say it is more to do with driveline snatch than actual fueling itself - 30mph in 3rd is pretty low revs, so the inherant lumpness of a single at low revs is going to exaggerated through a loose drive line, my chain/sprockets are fine, but I can rotate my cush drive a good quarter of an inch when it's stationary... time for new rubbers when I get home...
