Thanks for replying.
The ceramics on the plugs are a light gray color.
As I mentioned the mechanic told me the electrodes look good.
Not to pay to much attention to the ceramic unless it was black or starting to melt.
The dyno showed a good pull all the way to redline.
The bike runs a lot better with the snorkel out.
I had a sort of a flat spot from 3000-5500 rpm with it in.
I guess my only concern is that I am still running the stock jetting.
From what I have read everyone suggests rejetting.
Maybe I just read to much.
Thanks again.
