Quote:I have a feeling that one of the reasons for the pinging is Your riding stile.
Possible. I noticed I could treat the throttle like a picky mechanical slide system, gingerly make changes and not allow it to ping, but the kicker is my riding style hasn't changed much in 20+ years.
Now that I've got a fresh tank of gas in Suzi, I've noticed improved power, and I have a hunch if I changed everything back, I wouldn't have the problem again. I'm happy with the improved throttle response and performance so I don't intend to change anything for now. I can already see, however, that my gas mileage appears to be lower based on eyeballing the gas left in the tank. The next few fillups should tell the tale...
For now, I'm chalking the problem up to a "bad tank of gas." Now if I could remember where I filled up... ???
