Afternoon all.
I've just finished an 800k ride down the south island. All went reasonably well except for soreness!!
In the last 200ks of the trip I noticed that the engine was making a clicking noise when I came off the power (closed the throttle). Is this pinking/detonation? And furthermore, is it something to be worried about? I use 96 octane fuel all the time, is there such a thing as 'off' fuel?
Maybe this is too high or low octane for my bike?
Any thoughts/help greatly appreciated as I'm riding another 800k on Monday!
