*Update* 2nd round of testing is complete on the 500af. everything is going great so far. it runs a little hotter than i expected and im thinking racing gas is a needed step as this thing loves to knock and detonate! +Especially when hot!+ as far as my plug readings are telling me, the jetting is correct. *ALSO popping out of 4th gear only when just shifted into 4th; but if has been in 4th gear, it will not pop out. not sure yet if my boot is just tapping it out or if it's popping out due to shift fork problems.. love working out the bugs! any heads up on race gas i.e. mixture 50/50 with pump? straight?

I mix 50/50 Rockett 100 with 91 Chevron. We're lucky here in Nevada as almost every Rebel gas station in Las Vegas sells it right at the pump. A select few Rebels sell 112 from the pump and there's I think two that sell even higher octanes. They're top octane boost can only be purchased in 5 gallon cans at select gas stations.
My 500 doesn't ping to bad on 91 but mostly when chopping the throttle quick and then twisting the throttle again right away. Just a couple of light pings. Not detrimental to the machine but annoying!
The 50/50 mix of Rockett 100 and Chevron cures the problem.
