2017 CBR 1000RR Pinging
I just recently picked up a brand new 2017 CBR 1000rr. The bike is pinging under load off the showroom floor. I’ve seen two other bikes in the same area also pinging like mad. I’ve taken the bike back to Honda and they don’t want to help. I’m relatively close with the shop guys who hint at fueling—which Honda couldn’t legally adjust due to emissions. I’m speculating a lean condition due to these emissions req, and considering picking up a PCV. My gas is premium, ethanol free, and I’ve also run Amsoil (alcohol free) octane boost to to see if I could silence it. It generally becomes noticeable once the engine is warm. Any input, advice or experience you can share would be greatly appreciated. I also own a 2011, so this isn’t my first rodeo, but it is certainly my first experience with stock bike ping. |

I have a 2017 CBR1000rr to and it has pinged under a load since it was new. took it to the dealer and they could not figure it out so they put it on a open tech line with honda. Does your bike seem to lop at a idle?

I bought a brand new 2017 CBR1000RR and it also has pinged under a load. Does yours have a loping idle? I took mine back to the dealership and they couldn't figure it out. They agreed it shouldn't do it.

Thanks for the information. I'll keep an eye on it. I just wonder if it would void the warranty if you took it to a tuner?

Good luck. Keep me updated on what they tell you.

Confirmed- fuel getting into oil. It looks like a throttle body replacement is prescribed. This will be the second 17 cbr that my dealer has had to replace the throttle bodies. I will let you know if the ping resolves after replacement. The loping idle you speak of is most likely a throttle body/injector issue, based on the frequency of throttle body issues with this model. The hard part is getting Honda to do anything about it. |
Ok thanks for the info! Hopefully they get it fixed!
