Well, I figured I would start a new thread since the old one was archived. Another user, Doyeljj, started a thread asking about the different noise associated with the Uly. The conversation led to pinging which is something that I have dealt with since I bought the bike two years ago. Here is the old thread and my latest response to my ongoing detonation issue: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/142 838/465046.html?1248183726 Sorry, I wasn't sure how to get it out of the archive. "Well, it has been a month since the new ECM and I now have a new engine. Buell approved the replacement in hopes that the problem would then be resolved as well as replacing a damaged motor. So far, everything seems to be running good but the motor is still breaking in so I have been taking it easy. WOW...I forgot how hot these bikes get for the first couple thousand miles! Anyway, once I hit the 500 mile range, I will make sure the rings are seated and see if I can replicate the detonation. I have to say it would have been nice to know exactly what was causing the problem. The replacement of the ECM probably took care of the detonation and what I was hearing after that was some play in the wrist pins from the added stress of the detonation...it sounds very similar...so I am told. Just keeping you up to date; I will report back once I have had a chance to put the new motor through its paces." |
