While riding my 1 month old outlaw today, I got caught in a rainstorm. After riding for about 15 minutes I noticed what sounds like a ping coming from the engine only under hard throttle. Anyone else experience this potential problem and how'd you remedy?

 

higher octane gasoline. you should be running Premium (93Octane)

 

Thanka for the reply but it ran on the same gas all day it just started after getting wet.

 

strange, have you been using 93 octane though?

 

yes I run 93 in everything it seemed strange to me too i dont Know if the rain and the problem are just coincidental

 

In avation we call this the "wet air effect" ... it lowers the power out put of the engine.
