Default 103 ping problem

Do all the 103 motors ping when hot? Is there a fix?

welcome to the forums.

pinging is exacerbated by heat and low octane fuel- are you using premium fuel from a 'brand name' ? have you tried a different brand ?


under what conditions does it ping ?

my 09 when showroom stock, pinged at 2800~3200 rpms on 6% grades.

I solved that with nightrider.com xieds for about $100. they slightly richen the mixture under most riding conditions.
from there I was able to go to high flow intake and exhaust, no pinging the past 2 years

there are other, more complex tuners as well.

Mike
