    "Red" sparkplug tips?

    was working on a friend's 1100g (stock configuration)
    all the sparkplugs have a light red-ish tan on the white porcelain electrode surround
    no, not brown, but orangy/red-ish shade
    plugs otherwise look ok

    what could this be from / what would it indicate?

    thanks guys

    Maybe from some type of fuel additive

      Your friend's bike has been staying out too late, not getting sufficient sleep and consuming too much alcohol. Tell it to straighten up and behave itself.

        Check the tank for rust. Also unscrew a carb bowl drain bolt and see what comes out of the drain. I would guess there is some ultra fine rust particles from the tank getting into the carbs. Happened to me

            His friends bike sleeps 23/5 & 21/2, can't consume enough liquor in the time available to be considered sufficient to harm, and says to tell you that your bike tires are overinflated, flat in the middle and that you should get your knee down
