I think Extra Premium IS better than Speed or Power. Speed and Power seem to have too much propoganda going in for them without any substance at all.
shell super however is 91 octane. No knocking at low revs...Its the best fuel you can tank up with IMHO. Octane 97 is not requiered nor recommended by Honda. Manual says 91.

so are fans enough to drain the battery with engine on ?

this exact same thing has happened to me when I was waiting on a few red lights to turn green and was switching the bike off intermittently at red lights.
20 mins ride and came back to the bike onley to have a drained out battery. Your twin fans are good enough to drain the battery. Leave the bike on even on red signals even if the temperatures go soaring.
Speaking of temperatures ...what temp does your blade saturate at when left all by itself on a red light. The max I have clocked is 108 degrees celcius !

Say hi to your fireblade on my behalf !

Edit: no need to jump start your batterie ! Push the bike to anything above 10 to 15 kmph with your legs and shift into second gear. DO NOT SHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR !
The bike will start. Ride it hard after that and the batterie will be recharged !
