My plugs look just like yours and I've got around 3K miles on mine. I've got a stage 1 with a tuner and the bike has no decel pop and no back-fire at all, bike runs like a scalded ape. I wouldn't worry about those plugs.

Call the Guys,......
Thanks for the input guys. I thought that was too white. Surprised because the bike only has exhaust. Kinda defumbles the myths of everyone saying "no tuner if your only adding exhaust". Not that I didn't want to get a tuner and a better intake anyway just didn't have the funds quite yet. Just got new 11" 412s and had to get a new phone cause mine fell out of my jacket pocket going down the highway on the bike.
Looked at the Thundermax tuner and it does look nice but pretty pricey for me. I might lean toward the PCV and intake deal from Fuelmoto...

That is the way to get the best price from them and they have great service as well, I mean really Great service !!!!!!
ThunderMax from them only cost me $674.00 free shipping and they will program the ecm for you all you have to do is follow the instructions for install.
You will never buy another tuner if you get a ThunderMax no matter what mod's you do to your bike.....ie: head work, exhaust, cams, injectors, so on...
Save up a little more money and do it right....and don't drop you phone anymore.............LOL...............

I got a little crazy with "the Dip" again. I had the primary cover off to change oil and check clutch adjustment SO I thought "might as well"! I also put on my Progressive 412s, so I did the upper shock bolt covers. I think it turned out great. Just need to get the Forks and Tripple trees done!! Have not ridden it with the 412s yet but the stance feels much better. I also added my forwards the other day, neat little trick I came up with ( maybe its been done before but I have not come across anyone doing this) is I took a piece of 1/2" Heat Shrink tubing and put it over the mid control shaft that was sticking out instead of buying a cap. Hit it with the heat gun and stuck the rubber "bushing" back over it. Wha-la Good enough for me!

You are running a tuner
This guy is not running a tuner..............Stock ECM........
Do you really feel comfortable telling him he has no worries about a white plug ?
White insulator is a lean condition, maybe not lean enough to burn up the top end rapidly, but over time this will shorten the life of your engine.......
No disrespect meant, just trying to give the guy sound advice........

I prefer to get her richened up a bit for sure. 674 isn't bad but that's 200 more than I could get the PCV with the air cleaner from fuel moto. Ill sleep on it a few days though its supposed to be pretty brisk here and rainy for a few days...

Well I whipped out the old Visa and decided to go with Power Commander 5 and a stage one air cleaner kit from FuelMoto for 430.00 shipped. I liked the price of the Thundermax but, I really don't see my self going more than a stage one on this bike. But if I ever do change my mind the PCV has the auto tune kit I can add on for 320.00. Its shipping from Wisconsin so I should have it here by Friday. Ill be sure to follow up with a little review and a plug update
Thanks to everyone so far for the info and recommendations. Now I just need a better riding jacket so I don't loose another phone....maybe next year after I pay off all these other goodies.

should you one day decide on further upgrades jamie or keith at FM will always get you a new map. All of us (alomst) who start upgrading, even if we're happy a couple of years, end up giving into temptation. mwahahahaha!
Also in my perevios post I forgot to mention my plugs also look just like the ones on your photo. Even a little more white and I have the Powervision with autotune.
