My lifter tick noise goes away under acceleration. Most noticeable under light load at 2200 rpm's.

I had the detnation problem on my 03 RKC.&nbsp\\; I had installed fine wire Irrridium plugs.&nbsp\\; This defeated the anti knock system these EFI bikes have.&nbsp\\; I also went to a colder range plug.&nbsp\\; My 07 ultra has no detonation, but I have PCIII with the LCD.
