98 900S Detonation: Normal?

We've got a '98 900S with 38k miles on it, and since new it's had significant pinging/detonation under light-moderate throttle. Some have said it's normal, since it's a lean-burn engine. Haven't asked the dealer about it, but should have. We've tried 93 octane, but no change.
Any ideas? Is it normal? If not, what could be done to fix it?
