I was in the process of putting Crantini away for the winter pulling the plugs so I can oil the cylinders and this is what I found. That is some difference on the left side plug. Any thoughts on what to start looking at next Spring ? ( that is a little oil on the plugs from the winter prep)

Carbed model?
Time to adjust the carbs and sync them.
Not my thing.
I have away of adjusting a carb so that it will never run again.

Running lean on one side. Get the carbs balanced & check the airbox rubber for that cylinder isn't split & drawing excess air.

It will have to wait until the spring but will be one of the first things on the list to check.

I saw similar problem on a different brand of bike and it turned out the rubber carb diaphragm on one side was starting to crack and bleed air. That's a low cost fix if it applies here.

I would look into it now, Your riding season is short enough never mind trying to sort it out when it warms up!

If the snow holds off and my lower back gets better I'll be able to get in and check it out in the limited space in my storage shed otherwise its next spring.
Thanks again for the advice guys this site is the best!
