Mark Olson

17/41 gears,i got nvm iradium plugs,could be the issue?

good gearing, go a step colder on the plugs and see if that does it.
if you are weighing in over 300 lbs with rider and gear that will have an effect when bike is hot.

I used to have the same problem when hot.

I run
155 air bleeds
42.5 pilots
118 mains up 1 from center on the needles.
.880 on the floats.

no pings anymore no matter how hot it gets.
also flushed out my oil cooler that was clogged with goop.

Yep, read your plugs.

Valves adjusted?  How's your (hot) compression numbers?
