Can you do a video?

I don't have a Go Pro. It will be tricky to shoot video with the phone while riding. Bike runs idles fine.

I checked the vacuum hoses and caps. In excellent condition. Checked all hoses for loose connections.Balanced the throttle bodies. I have reloaded the stock tune again. I will try higher-grade fuel to see how it goes. Is there any way to test the TPS to rule out any issues?

You can test the TPS with an ohm meter. I can’t remember which pins you meter across, but when you move the throttle, the reading should change consistently and not jump around.

Quick Update: Ran the bike on 91 grade gas. Ping is still there. I am out of ideas. Is there anything else we can check or do?

Did you run it long enough to use old gas?

Something quick and easy to check. The small coil wires get loose. You have to routinely crimp them down for a good solid tight connection. #1 is a bit$h to get too, but you could check the other two. Even if this isn't your issue, but they are loose, you'll likely notice better performance down the road.
