Pinging

[David Beard]

I agree with Mike. I can get my engine to ping if I nail the throttle at 
about 1500 to 2500 rpms in higher gears, but I usually don't run the 
engine in that range. Under normal riding conditions, i don't shift 
until 5000 to 5500 rpms. If I'm getting on it, I'll take it near the 
redline before shifting.
