Default Pinging under load?
Headed home from the Smokey mountains Yesterday and after a fill up, 2006 wide glide fi started pinging bad under load. I have filled up twice since then and still pinging, just not as bad. Any suggestions??

Thanks

Sounds like water or bad gas. Run the tank down to reserve and fill up with best gas you can next couple of tanks...

sounds like bad gas to me, but maybe it was the altitude and the air being thinner throwwing off the mixture.
