Does this indicate a rich condition?

Thanks to everyone that replied. I checked them because it was running like crap after the water in the PCIII connectors. I'll get a new set installed and run it awhile and check it out.

I installed a PCIII without having my ride tuned. And, I had popping, shooting BLUE flames out, pipes were black, and the plugs were black and sooty. Thought I was running way RICH. Not so. Finally had my bike dyno tuned and found out that I was way too LEAN, Now my bike runs well. I had been using the SE plugs, but the Indy told me he preferred the standard HD plug; for some reason he had better luck with those.
BTW, I picked up around 8HP & 8 lb ft of torque.
And, with a dyno tune, you have both cylinders set to their optimum.

Madden23 I'll check the pipes. They do look black on the inside but they have since I installed them. I've only had the PCIII on for a couple of weeks.
Dlstanf2, that's what I'm worried about. I want to make sure I'm not running too lean.

THIS is your best approach YH. Some new properly gapped plugs and run a tank through her. No excessive pinging or popping? If not, then that's cool. Finally, use that link EDZ82FXR provided and check the plugs for sure.
