Last summer when the only mod to my bike was slip-ons, it never pinged. Now, full stage 1 and it pings down low when the weather is warm - 80's ish. Tried a different map and auto-tuning them(PV2) but it still pings, even with some Lucas octane boost added. I've searched and read a number of threads about pinging and using low octane fuel, but I alway run premium rated at 91-93. Thoughts and or suggestions appreciated.

 

I have a 2014 Limited with 26,600 miles and I'm getting a lot of spark knock above 3000 rpm in 4th, 5th, and 6th gear. Always use 93 octain fuel.
I do not recall hearing it last year but this spring it is pinging a lot. Even pinging when temps are in the upper 70 deg F. I have lagged the engine some what. Not anymore.
Bike is stock, I installed new air filter and spark plugs. I got a Vance and Hindes FP3. I tried it using stock HD settings to no avail. Spark Knocks worse then without. HD has updated the ECM 6 times since origional but they do not have a specific spark knock flash like they do for the non-twin cooled touring bikes.
I'm thinking of removing the cat and using the FP3 again.

All the Best

This is where taking it to a tuner or knowing what to do to your map comes into play. You will probably have to pull some spark advance out of the pinging areas and surrounding cells.
I am not familiar with the PV as I use TTS. Is there a way to record knock events so that you can see the areas that need work?

 

One of the things I love about my 14 Limited is the lack of pinging. It has the HD stage one flash, street cannon slip-ons and SE ventilator air cleaner. Just returned from a 2500 mile ride, two up, packed. Never pinged once. Performed flawlessly
