My RK has a bit of ping when cruising in 6th on the hwy. Only when it pulls up a hill at 75 mph or so.
So, I'm taking it back to Hamilton HD in Sturgis, MI (I've really enjoyed dealing with these folks) for a dyno tune.
They told me it really didn't need the tune and they could eliminate the pinging without it, but, they also said, to be dialed in perfectly, the dyno is the way to go.
I'll be making sales calls on the way, which is a plus.....
Can't wait to see the numbers on paper after the tune!
