Just returned from a 3600+ mile trip in hot weather. Most of the riding was highway and interstate speeds. I ran 87 octane and had no pinging of any kind. Spyder ran great and average 34.4 MPG for the trip.

With a ECU flash?

No. Stock ECU

87 octane will ping on a stock byke in higher RPMs. You should really only run min 91 octane although some people do run low grade. definitely min 91 with a tune whether stage 1 or 2. I got some bad gas on my last fillup and noticed my spyder reacting to it. Sucks I didn't see it until after putting the nozzle in the tank and seeing it pour in. The byke ran fine, but I could feel the computer adjusting. I typically only run 93.

I carry a small bottle of octane boost on my spyder all the time. If I accidentally get a tank of crappy fuel I can add the bottle of octane boost. Helps to stop that pinging. You can find that stuff on the counter of just about any motorcycle store.

RobDekker and Bottomline2000 -- apologies for my confusion but is the two 1" holes modification done to the air filter cover (which has 3 screws) or the primary air intake silencer? And Wick-It says the air box modification is for Stage 2 while Monster says both stages and they are different -- can you speak to that? Thanks. PS I'm liking the Stage 1 charts -- will be running stock exhaust system as heat and weight are not an issue and it keeps the neighbors happy.

Yes to the cover.

troop -- thank you for the clarification.

I looked at the Dynojet and as usual it's a very nice unit and I like the ease of installation and removal. I have one for my Royal Enfield. But unless I missed them I didn't see any performance data on the website.

Could you speak to your choice of the Dynojet. Did you use any of the Accessory Inputs (eg Map switch)? Did you use add the AutoTune? Turns out I have an extra so perhaps I could use it with the PCV? Thoughts?

And the PCV for my 2014 RT-S is out of stock. Are they dropping the product?

Yes to the cover.

On the Monster site It specifically says the airbox holes are only for the Stage 2 and not to be used with the stage 1.

AY4B -- apologies but it's the Wick-It site that makes a clear statement about Stage 2 modifications. The Monster site wanders around without making a similarly unambiguous statement.

Be that as it may, after my ride today I've decided the wonderful 1330cc engine has the power I need but the suspension has neither the comfort or stability I want. So I'm spending my money on front and rear shocks (probably Ikons) and not an ECU re-map.

You are probably right, Wick-It is where I go to read about it. I read it there.

This might have been covered, but I could not find an answer, so please forgive me. I have a cat delete pipe on my 2016 F3T right now. I love the performance (quicker throttle response), but not the noise. It came with an internal baffle, but I did not install it. I want to install the baffle, without the end piece, but wonder if it will make a difference in performance once I get the computer reflash later this year? I want a little less sound than what I have now. BTW, I have stock muffler.
Thanks in advance.
