just installed a new cam and i have a sound when warm at 2/4 to full throttle. it sounds like a little pebble in a tin can, re jetted from a 87 to a 95, didn't change anything..so maybe i'm thinking it's not pinging.

 Hard to hear pinging on a single cylinder engine, but it is a metallic clacking sound, like pulling cans on the road

Hey Chanito, I have been hearing the sound you speak of on my 08 Ruck. I'm a bit concerend about it. I thought it might be my valve gaps, but I'm not sure.
I'm gonna go get a set of feeler gauges today and just check my gaps, But i only have 2500mi. on my bike. What might be the cause of pinging?

Carbon on the combustion chamber, take a LOOOOONG ride and see if that fix it, normally on the ruckus engine the valve closes the gap so we end up with a hard to start ruckus not a noisey valve train, but check the valve gaps anyway ;D
