| When I pulled the plugs today to do the valve adjustment, this is what they looked like. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]How do they look? This is on a 2016 GRiSO running the factory map. The right plug appeared to have slightly more carbon than the left one. | |

| Are they out of the engine OR out of their packaging  ; ie how old are they ? I pulled 20,000 miles old ones recently - and stuck back again....they looked good but not as clean as yours ! | |

Which in and of itself is a bit of a worry as yours were in a motor that was terminally ill!  Really though they look OK but not ideal. Worry less, ride more. Plug chops only really tell a tale on new plugs. Pete | |

| Pete, please explain "the plugs look OK but not ideal". What is the nature of your guarded approval please.
Cheers and thanks | |
