Totally different kind of ping. That's just the exhaust cooling down. The ping to "worry" about is what sounds kinda like a spray paint can being shook up while running, particularly noticeable under load.

yeah i didn't use the whole bottle. kinda WAGed it and pour in maybe 1/4 of it. for 3 bucks, even if it doesn't work, the psychological/ placebo effect is already worth it.

Funny thing is I whizzed just a little in my buddies tank the other day. He swears his bike was running super smooth. I was afraid to tell him "maybe it's the piss... I'm trying to remember the additives to my urine. Bud or Coors. No that day it was a domestic microbeer. I'm just sayin' if you want real performance it may be worth a looksie.
