How's my plug color

[double J]

I've been adjusting my fuel mix screws. They are currently set at 3 turns out. 3.5 seemed too rich. I kno I should have went to 3.25 first. So does my plug color look ok?

Look fine to me

Aren't you only adjusting the idle mixture? Shouldn't really effect plug color

I have the Holeshot jet kit, with the shims set like raven rider jet kit.

they might have to run more to get a better idea but to me they look a touch on the lean side for a carbed bike

They are a bit lean. Nothing to worry about though. Lean is where you make power. For an average rider a light brown is optimal.

You didn't say how old the plugs were - how many miles. That makes a difference. If these plugs are old - they look fine - for a lot of miles.

They show a little dark residue around the base - which, in a short term plug, I would call as just a little rich -- you're leaving carbon deposits.
There is no dry looking burn from a too lean condition.

If they're old - all is good.
If they are recent - maybe a touch rich.

Sorry to disagree with others.

Take an average - then you are right in the middle - for opinions. :flash:

Myself - I prefer a little rich run in my motors. The valves run cooler rich. Too lean - runs hot - Possible to burn valves over time.
