Pinging (also called pinking) is caused when the fuel and air mixture is ignited at the wrong time.
+1 on the cause being fuel with an octane rating that's too low. That will cause it to pre-ignite. Gas has a shelf life and will deteriorate with age. Try filling the tank with fresh higher octane fuel. That will very often cure the problem, particularly if the gas is more than a couple of months old.
You could also try a new set of spark plugs. Faulty or badly gapped plugs are another common cause.
You may have a problem with the ignition timing. A blocked injector or leaking manifold can sometimes cause it but you'd probably notice a drop in performance.

Ok thanks guys
I only run 92 or 93 octance depending on where I buy it and which they carry. It does not matter where I buy fuel it does it and its not old fuel on my end. I ride almost every day but I guess the fuel maybe old at some of the stations since gas prices are so high, I bet alot of people probally are not buying the high dollar stuff.
It doesnt do it alot, since I dont really get on it hard except when I need to, but it maybe time for a PC lll and SE intake.
