Got A map?
I have a 2012 dyna switchback 103 with power vision tuner . I have a Stage one air filter (K&N HD-0808 High Performance Replacement Air Filter) . I am running a D&D fat cat 2 into 1 with louvered baffle . Fuel moto gave me a great tune to start with and after several autotunes and different map configurations , I still like theirs the best . Anyone have a finished map close to this setup, I would like to give it a try in my bike .. Thanks , mark

Bad fuel can certainly cause pinging without any other engine/map changes..... Try a fresh tank of 93 octane gas from a brand name gas station that has high volume traffic. See if that get's your engine running normal with the current map.

OK...I couldn't stand it and went tinkerin'.
I enabled closed loop and leaned out my cruising area just to see if my temps would stay low and if my mpgs would improve without a drop in power.
It worked! I'm getting 39mpg, temps are the same, and my butt dyno hasn't noticed a drop in power when I hit the throttle at 75mph.
Back in the fray.

Could I have gotten two bad tanks? Is there a lasting effect from one bad tank of gas? Also FYI all gas in CT is 10% ethanol
Thanks

I also have an oil cooler, so I run pretty cool anyway. All that extra fuel for cruising seems wasted, but I am keeping both maps on the PV too just in case I venture away from the coast.

I've never seen a satisfactory answer as to the suitability/function of non HD spark plugs in the ion sense system, although some claim to use other plugs with no problems...but I've gone back to using HD plugs in my late model HDs just because I know the system was designed to work with them.
I do know that both you and Chris started seeing knock events with new HD plugs that were previously undetectable.

That was my first thought. The pings started right after I filled up with 93 octane Mobil, from a very high volume station. My next fill up was Shell 93 octane from a station I've used many times. The pinging continued.

I wonder if what you are experiencing is a summer tuned map that was close to the edge in terms of "knock" that is now displaying knock with the "Fall blend" of gas???

The quick release works great. I've removed it daily, sometimes frequently when tuning, and on some trips not for days. The lower raised point that fits into the lower PV unit slot for holding it is beginning to show some signs of wear and I'm planning to order another one this week just to have on hand when if finally fails to hold securely.
That's my experience.... good luck.
