    New member Sweden

    Hi all, just joined today. I'm located in Sweden. Bought an ex-demo 2010 ST in the beginning of October and managed to put 2600km on it before the season came to a close. My previous bike was a Suzuki DL650. Really enjoying the step up to the Tenere.

    Valve ping at hot idle, r.p.m variation at idle, engine mapping

    Great. A techy section. That made me register :) Start this off by asking about things I am wondering about... #1: Pinging?
