lean or rich?

i just did a plug check, new plugs, once i went full throttle and shut her off i took them out....the base ring on the left one is darkesh brown, the porcelain is all white except one small light brown blemish almost under the side electrode, using a magnifying glass i cant see and silver specks....the side electrode has basically turned white at the tip, right above the electrode in the porcelain, the rest other than the tip is a dark brown... the right side plug --- the base ring isnt as uniformly darkesh brown, its darkest close to the side electrode...but there is some areas that havent darkened at all!!! and remain sliverly and new looking, 2/3 of base ring is brown.... the porcelain is sligtly more tan but still very white, only has 1 blemish close to the same area that the left plug had..the side electrode is not as white on the tip, more evenly brown all over, bike starts excellent, runs excellent, isnt blowing excessive smoke, and is hauling like crazy, HOW DO U THINK THE JETTING IS? thanks, i am at sea level basically if that helps

This is what you need to follow, to a T...instead of getting 20 different guesses and answers.

in that diagram man at the bottom where it says the ratings for spark plugs....when it says that br9es are cold does and that br8es is standard, does that mean that the br9es can not withstand higher tenperatures, so will it burn? thanks for the diagram though!

:shrug: Im not sure. I have always used br8's.

right on, i was using br8es in her normally, but i think i tested using br9es

Use BR8ES.

A colder plug dissipates heat slower, it has no meaning on the temp of the spark, etc.

We use colder plugs for our methanol bikes...for a near stocker on gas, stick with the BR8ES gapped .028 to .030

not to be picky, but didn't you mean dissipates heat faster, so it doesn't build up heat?
