[QUOTE="Scottysg, post: 200541, member: 3517"] aw man, what happened to dem titties! Check out this shot of my plug chop: 69 degrees, sea level, 40:1 maxima 927, 168 main, 58 pilot, air screw 1.5 turns out, fresh filter, slightly overcast\foggy. Got the bike warmed up for about 20 minutes, shut it down, pulled the plug, put a brand new one gapped to 22 thou (manual says 24 but Ive had better results with 22, does anyone possibly know why). Started it up, rode to the end of the block not at full throttle but pretty quick, turned around, wound it out to the top of 4th, pulled the clutch\hit the kill, coasted back to the toolbox, and this is the result. Not seeing a perfect 'ring' like I've seen on the internet. Also, since I'm doing this on roads (ahem in mexico) I didn't want to have it wound to the top of 5th for 1 mile at wot like I've read I need to. with my gearing thats like 120 lol. I don't know if this would lead to my test giving inaccurate results. Let me make a guess before the experts tell me what the plug actually says: The motor is running slightly rich at wot based on the carbon deposits that have lightly covered the whole tip of the ceramic. I could go down 1 size on the main, but for safety, its probably best I stay with this size. Alright guys, let me have it-what is going on in my engine!
