Tim-
Maybe retard the timing, but I'd try using the highest octane automotive gas
available (here it's Exxon or BP 93). Hope this helps!

I have owned my 73 police model for only a short time. I bought it
not running, put it together and have been riding it a lot. I was
furtunate to take first place in class with it last weekend @ the
AZ. Guzzi rally. I noticed that @ high speed and underload conditions
I seem to get excessive pinging. The bike has 1000 cc jugs. I wanted to
know if the pinging is caused by to high of compression. Should I
use a compression lowering kit (thicker gaskets) or can the problem be
handled by retarding the timing?
