I did some data logs and I still have some knock events, but I don't hear any pinging. Most of the knock events are 2* or less on the front cylinder only in the 60 kpa column from 1750 to 2750 rpm. I had one 7* pull, but it was getting pretty warm in stop and go when that happened so I think that was just an anomaly.

Question is, what is considered a minor knock event and what is considered a major knock event? What should I ignore and what should I worry about trying to fix? I have done auto tunes and I have done Log Tuner tunes. Both say my VE's are no more that 2-3 off so the VE's are dialed in and when using Log Tuner it doesn't ever want to pull more that point 2 or point 3 degrees of timing in a few places.

I have created several new tunes using the Lot Tuner allowing it to pull those small amounts of timing, but I still keep getting the knock events in the same places. I even allowed it to readjust the VE tables in the last two Log Tuner maps, but no real change in knock events and again the VE table changes were less than the 5%.

I only run 6th gear if i am able to be at or above 2300 rpm's .usually on interstate. 2000 rpms in 6th gear feels like it is beating the bearings out of the lower end This is jmo.

Jim, the knock events are mostly during cruise. No load running near a constant speed with rpm 2000 - 2500 and the KPA in the 60's. It is kind of hard to tell, but I am thinking it is happening when I start down a slight hill where I drop TP a couple. I don't really see much when I am doing hard roll ons.

The weather is supposed to be better Friday and Saturday so I hope to get some riding in to see how the new map works. Like I said before, the bike seems to run great and I don't hear any pinging so the ECM is catching it before it starts or it is a false knock event. They only last about 5-8 milliseconds' and usually no more than 2* pulled when they show up although I have had the occasional 4*, but those are rare.
