How do my plugs look?
I think they look lean, but how lean are they? dangerously lean? I raised my fuel level 1mm and they have more color now, but I went on a 450km ride on these.Tags: None

Hard tellin for real on a comp screen. But, IMO they look pretty ok. Maybe a hair on the lean side. Not bad tho. the one on the left looks leaner than the rest by a touch. But, if the bike runs well, and they STAY this colour (are these from plug chops, what throttle pos?? Or just a full range pull?) then I might set the plug on the left a bit richer on the pilot, put em back in and ride that puppy...

Before I fixed my charging system, these plugs were all black and sooty, after a few hundred km's they cleaned right up. Real hard to do jetting when your charging system isnt working properly.
Not a plug chop, just hard riding.

the electrode is a lil whit as well, i think there a lil lean just a lil, i dont think you should mess with the float levle, try a main jet change, 1 step bigger, leave the floats at factory sets, that way yu will not lean out wide open, or starve it

I was thinking of going back to 32 mm carbs, Called the local bike place and he wanted $250 for a dirty old set of carbs. Said I could do a part swap of my 34mm ones that are nice and clean and rebuilt, but I would have to pay extra Can you belive that???!!!!
