Technical Question - Running Rich

I have an 06 1050 Speed Triple. The only performance/engine mods are a BMC air filter, TOR pipes, and the updated tune for the pipes.

I don't know which tune was loaded.

The bike seems to run really rich, especially at WOT. I can usually smell raw fuel after getting on it a bit. I fouled my original set of spark plugs just after getting the TOR's.

If I change to a low mount free-er flowing exhaust like the M4 will it help? Should I go back to the original air filter?

Has anyone tried running spark plugs with a hotter heat range?

What do you guys think?

Thanks,
Dave
