Default Spark Knock with just Slip-ons

I recently sold my SE AC kit and IED's&nbsp\\;and put the factory unit back on the bike. Have other stuff coming (pipes and differnt intake and a PC) But in the mean time I just have The Cycle Shack Slip-ons, and now I have noticed im getting Spark knock when I roll back into the throttle&nbsp\\;at like 4th or 5th gear. Any input on this would&nbsp\\; be great as I am a bit confused as why it would be doing this now with just slip ons.

Could you have gotten some bad gas maybe, like some station that put regular or medium in their premium tank? You are right, it seems odd that putting the AC back to stock would leave you in a lean condition, if that's what it is. Not an FI guy, so there may be another explanation for it.

+1 and try a different gas station
