Here is a plug from my xb12. What do you think? Rich Lean Good Excellent? The manual says gray is ok. I always heard tan was.

all of that black stuff is more so carbon from burning oil
most likely.

No, not oil. Oil would be a lot worse. Rich condition. Do you let the bike warm up for a few seconds while cold before riding?

The defect in that one is bleach.

sorry. couldn't resist.

I am curious to hear the answer on this one. The bottom looks too hot/lean to me, but the base looks like it has build up. Then again, I know nothing about this stuff so I am curious to hear from those that do -

As lean as the XB's are set to run, IMO
"i" would go to 1st RA4HC(905) or RA2HC(900) if the engine will run OK ...

These are Champion part numbers ...

I let her warm up for 4-5 mins always, unless already warm.
The bike runs like a CHAMP.
However she uses oil like its cool though...over 1.5 quarts of oil mobile one 15-50 full syn in 3k miles. (no leaks or smoke.)

Is this the slight description what buell is talking about on page 1-41 8d? Just to add to the confusion. I think it looks like a combination of both A and D in the figure examples on page 1-41.

???
