with letting it sit and idle,and with the Stabil (forgot to mention that!)
could that be producing the black plugs?[sm=confused06.gif]

I think paulies 07's way is probably most accurate, but hotAs he said,

Doug, paulies way is for reading plugs at 60 mph cruising.

But he leaves out one important step.

You need to hit the kill switch as you pull in the clutch,

THEN coast off the road.

Sbob, you're gonna want to wait for the weather.
Or trailer the machine to a qualified dyno man.

Won't argue either point, well said.

You must do a plug chop with your bike at full operating temperature, and under load, up a steep hill if possible with the bike pulling hard, then clutch in and hit the kill switch.

Correct cornish.

For reading the plugs at Wide Open Throttle.

I like the flat roadat normal cruising speed under normal Rideing conditions, do a throttle chop.. Clutch/Kill switch. pull over far enough to keep from getting Killed,Chk Plugs, Install plugs, Start Bike, and ride very carefully over to your choice of tuners with a current Dyno and let him tune the bike....
