Buell running lean

Mine is all dented to **** and I dont have pinging. Pinging is caused by the fuel/air mixture detonating before the spark plug fires. Usually caused by excessive pressure. Id think it would have to be timing but there are a bunch of things that can cause it.

For what it's worth, when my plugs were removed & new ones installed, they were apparently soaking wet according to the guy who pulled the plugs (I had the dealer do it because of the warrenty). I haven't looked into why the plugs were wet, mainly because it cured the pinging problem I had. If the ping returns, which hopefully will happen while the warrenty is still active, I will look further into it. It could be some sort of fuel delivery issue.
