Default engine making weird noises??

now that im breaking the engine in and im running the oil injector plus 1 ounce of oil for every 1 gallon of gas i didnt think it would run lean. but the engine is making a pinging noise when i let off the throttle from anything more than 1/3 throttle?? can someone tell me what it is and what to do? thanks!!

im not sure..the reason why i say to run the higher octane gas is because your bike is modded,and i hear once the compression is raised you need the better gas..hopefully someone that actually knows for sure will stop by and let ya know..

a modded machine needs high octane fuel,no matter what you do with the oil,its not going to raise the fuels octane level..thats why im thinking its the fuel your using..

yeah with your head being milled you definitely want at least 92 octane.
