That was a good $46 worth. I think we had pointed to the timing possibly causing the pinging.
I would imagine you are no longer making 99 and 99, but your reliability factor just went way up. You maybe could have dropped some moth-***** in the tank and got over 100 out of it....for a little while.
Glad you got your problem solved!

The 204 is notorious for pinging. Don't know where the timing was before but the engine may now be in a detuned state. I ran 204s in a 95" with 9.8 static and it would detonate in the south Texas summer heat. Backed off timing but the engine was sluggish, so I pulled the cams and replaces with TW44s; back to 104TQ/94HP but no ping. Lost a little on the bottom but I don't ride there anyway. Stopping the detonation was a good move; it will save your engine.
