You're certain it's a ping and not valve train noise?

Do you have the race chip? My X1 used to ping till I went with the race chip. Where in Chicago are you? I'm also in Chicago. I saw a Marathon gas station out by O'Hare that had 100 Octane no lead. It wasn't cheap.

Dan, there was a thread on XB's pinging here about a month ago; search and you can probably find it. One thing you can do is try different brands of 93 octane; all brands aren't created equal. (My Ford truck for instance will run fine on BP/Amoco 87 octane but requires 89 octane for other brands.) Another suggestion IIRC was to have the timing checked.

Uh-Oh...Here we go again! I started using separate nozzle fill-up stations and since then my bike has stopped pinging!

Yes, I too use dedicated nozzles and no pinging, but when I don't guess what...
