Indeed... What you think to my other theories? Plausable? One slighly blocked injector is popular with me atm, it might explain why it sometimes feels fine then terrable.

IMO i dont trust 'fix in a bottle' type products 1 tiny bit, if they do anything at all it is mask the origional problem, and that can end up expensive if 1 small problem leads to a few bigger 1s (iv read this forum a while now and dont think you'd let this happen hopefully, but the people in any reviews you have read might be posting the day after IYKWIM)

Well i swore Redex (eventually) solved an intermittent power-loss problem on my Chinese 125, though it could have been anything. I did have the carbs off, which were clean, but there were some fine drillings (not the jets) which I didn't fancy trying to clean with old guitar strings in case I wrecked it. It may work, but will probably take a few goes. Most miracle cleaning products can't replace elbow grease, so if there is a physical way of cleaning something, it is probably best. If you're willing to pay the price, give it a whirl! I still chuck redex in the tank every now and again, although mainly to use it up!
