The mechanic at my dealership said not to pay attention to the ceramic.
So even on this chart you look in the best range.
Reading plugs

Thanks. Thats a good chart. The NGK site was much harder to decipher. It looks to be ok. Still like more opinions tho to be sure. And not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but i'm suprised it's even close to good (assuming it is) after the pipes and snorkel removal.

That looks pretty healthy to me. Slightly on the lean side maybe, but certainly within the range you're looking for.

Thanks BR. i guess i'm ok. I was considering not riding it again till i rejetted, but looks like i can take it to work tomorrow. (one day w/o riding and i was already developing the shakes :-D )

Daz don't loose sleep over it! Get out there and enjoy it.

I am sure you will get other opinions from this thread, and you could always take it to a local mechanic and get them to put it on an analyser and give you a more accurate diagnosis.

I guess tbikes' claim of "no rejetting required" holds out! It may not be a bad idea to experiment with different jets some time in the future, but going by the condition of your plug, it's not something that you have to do right away or else your engine will blow up. I think those oil temp gauges from Newpeedmaster are a good idea too, as you can monitor changes in engine temp. which should give you some visual indication of whether your mods are making things too lean or too rich or possibly harming your engine. I ordered one the other day.

I have got the oil temp gauge.
My temp reads 175-180.
I really like the gauge.
I purchased it from Brent.
