Black Zorst! Too Rich?

Well I pulled the plugs today and I read 'em a little 'lean' if anything.

OMG. Too much soot in your tail pipe. Have a look at your air filter too and check your air box sump is not full of oilygloop Correct combustion is only acheivable with the right amount of oxygen. Are all zorst unions "tight" no sooty deposits elsewhere?

I think you need a Hygiene Plan

What! what?

I thort it (the plug) looked pretty good. It's not a very good pic . Now u got me worried. I'ts got a brand new airfilter. I drained the gunge out and I've bypassed the c/case breather to atmosphere with a long pipe down behind the g/box and running along the torque arm well clear of the tyre.

hard to tell from the pic but it's probably ok.
Are both plugs a similar colour?

Well I guess it's OK 'cos a 'frend'

did this route recently on my bike and the digital trip recorder (GPS) showed the following:- Elapsed time=65mins, Average speed 60mph. Max Speed 94mph (indicated 102mph). Fuel used, 7ltrs.

What have you started....

Was doing some work on the bike recently and pulled out some odd coloured plugs

completed the work and more recently pulled out the plugs , looking and riding a bit lean.... must try harder, currently fiddling and will look at plugs shortly

Well the two on the right look spot-on don't they?. But what's going on with red insulators on the two on the left?

nab 301 · Post by **nab 301** » Sun Jul 15, 2012 3:11 pm

I got my time lines mixed up.. red insulator is original (93k miles) tb's, glassfibre modded air intake, oe air filter and yellow ccp. Ones beside are low mileage tb's with k&n filter and yellow ccp.

latest photo is minus ccp , When I first got the bike and fitted a Y piece It wouldn't run properly without the ccp (with oe air filter).
I must refit the oe air filter just for comparison.

Was talking about this very thing in the garage the other day and boss said unleaded always leaves black soot on the exhaust and seems to run to clean to do a decent plug chop
