I'm curious - how obvious is pinging on a bike? Is it hard to miss? Does it occurr at any particular rev level or under a load only, etc? I know in cars I've heard it, is it the same?
I've never noticedpinging on my bike but it's set up with 10.25:1, a cam, K&N and faily open exhaust(my Dad had it before me and set it up this way).I do use Premium fuel and it does have compression relief buttons on it, so I use those religiously when starting it. It runs great and gives me 39 mpg if i'm easy on it.
My question is would I notice this pinging pretty easily if I had it? Is 10.25:1 in the category of motors that will have this problem?
Thanks!
