Here is my question......what does "pre-det" pinging sound like on a Harley. I am very framiliar with car engine pre-det and pinging, but here is the closest comparision to what I have on my bike:
Does anyone remember what the old VW bugs sounded like at their exhaust. Kind of a high pitch "echo" quater falling in a glass sound?
I hear that on my bike especially when I am riding over a bridge and the echo off the walls brings it in clear.
If anyone can decode my ramblings......awsome and thank you

The best description I've heard to describe pinging is; "it sounds like your dragging a metal strap down the road".
Mine does it when it's hot out and I have questionable fuel in it. When you're on the road you have to take whatever fuel you can get but at home I always go to the same gas station and I rarely have pinging.
It really sucks paying over $4.00 a gallon for premium and sometimes it isn't even real gas!
