I have a 2012 Electra Glide Ultra with a 103 CID engine and I hear a slight ping on acceleration. Anyone else have this issue and what can be done about it?

 

You running the good gas in it?

 

Stock motor? Any upgrades?

 

Warranty, even new things break

 

Just put over 700 miles on a 2012 StreetGlide with the 103 motor, in and around Glacier National Park and some riding south of there in the mountains. I experienced no pinging what so ever. That was with two up riding. Didn't mind using a lower gear when needed for acceleration. Most fuel available was 91 octane with no ethanol.

 

A slight ping will do no harm but if it bothers you try a higher octane fuel or add octane boost.

 

Don't forget to get the tuner and have a dyno run to set the proper AF ratio, not the pass the EPA setting that factory H-D uses.

 

I agree with those suggesting to go with a higher grade octane and see what happens.

 

Best is to talk to Ur service dept and ask them..

Join the rest of us with little to no engine modifications and are annoyed by the ping thing. I use XIED's and they help a bit, but don't eliminate all the pinging.
