Re: pinging
what do you mean by "pinging" ? and what ignition are you running thats allowing the bike to rev to over 15,000rpm ?
H model rev counters over-read, stock ignition limits to 14,500rpm.. before my clock was calibrated it would show over 16,000 !
FWIW, my H1 runs to 15,500rpm with raised compression and loads more ignition advance than stock and doesnt "ping" at all.

Re: pinging
probably would, but at what point ? who knows .. ive only run mine on super since doing the work on it.. and after lots of messing and dialling in more and more advance.. its not detonated or started "pinking/pinging"..jake wrote:does running toad fuel with advanced ignition cause it to ping zimm?
think my point was that he's probably twatting it off the 14.5k limiter, (and has an optimistic tacho) rather than pinking due to excessive revs.
full day for £45 ? aye possibly.. have to see how im set closer to the time.. least i'll be closer now.. 4 hour drive instead of 6 ! w00t .. loljake wrote:by the way, you fancy comin up to oulton? trackday feb 17th, 45 quids mate

Re: pinging
too bad....
in fact i was in reserve, no more fuel........must turn the switch
i must be the only guy who buy a brand new sparkplug when the engine won"t run correctly....and it was to esay to switch the fuel to res.....the bad habitude with experiment issue with two stroke engine....
