Another...plug read request lol

[Hyde]

Hey folks, never been able to correct my lack of choke on the BS34's. Today,'I was about to pull them and dial back but decided to check the plugs first after running her pretty solid yesterday.



But looking at those plugs.....I don't know if I should be touching a darn thing. Looking for other opinions before I dive back into carb land.

left looks ok...........right has a bit of soot on the electrode.

Do a proper ride plug test first..........riding in a built up area when coming home.......cruising into the driveway and maybe a small idle when stopping.........plugs are going to be a bit dark.

Thanks Skull. I did lightly jaunt back into the garage last evening after tearing hard. So the low speed and stops might account for it. Should I just take the plug wrench with me to a back road and grab a fistful of throttle for a min, kill it, pull and read?

that's the method! Wind it out in a higher gear pull in the clutch hit the kill and pull the plugs (stop the bike first )

(stop the bike first )

Chuck Norris doesn't

kill it, pull and read?

If you're going to take the plugs out and put them back in with the aluminum threads hot...plugs don't really need to be very tight...

Ty for the tip XJ, didn't think of that but super important to keep in mind!
