Pinging isn't normal. This explains it better than I can: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_knocking.

I put in SE triple plat. in my 07 FXD. \\;Sorry cant give you the link but it was part #32997-01. \\;These are a slightly colder heat range and have performed perfectly, in fact I no longer have a pinging on hard accel. YMMV.

I would say that I \\;might lugged it a little bit....if you count going WOT between 1st &\\;\\\\\\; 2nd &\\;\\\\\\; 3rd without speed shifting as "lugging". Couldn't help it wanted to see what she could do.

But it is most annoying when I go about 1/2 throttle going up hill just in normal acceleration. Gonna try those spark plugs next.

How do you downshift when you are in 1st gear and going 30 MPH and trying to get to 50MPH?
