I'm surprised that it's pinging using 95 octane - I assume that's RON. However, the ambient temp is certainly enough to bring it on under load. You can cause anything from no real damage through to a worst case of destroying the entire engine. Pinging MUST be stopped.
Pinging is a "feature" of the V7iii engines. Mine would ping its bloody heads off nearly any time I tried to accelerate, even slightly. It's a feature of extreme lean running, done by MG to get them past Euro4 emissions. Being in West Oz, our summer temps are much like yours - 32° to 40+° most days. My dealer (the best one in Oz) has the problem all the time with customers' bikes.
Todd's fueling fix is THE fix! You won't believe how much it'll leap into life when the fueling is set correctly.
