Unless you have the D shaped long driver tool to adjust pilots with the carbs on, you will need to take them off at least, but no point in not cleaning them and checking them out while they are off. Check the sticky on carb cleaning.

If for some reason you feel its out of your league feel free to ship them to me, or even take a ride over. I live in pittsburgh so I am not too far from you.

 

Yeah ill take another look when I checked the plug I hadent really ran the bike yet. Ill get it going and check the plug and then make a decision from there. I have a friend that lives in Pitt so maybe ill make it a weekend trip or something

 

K, send me a pm if you decide you want to head out this way. If your plugs are dark then they are probably fouled or close to it so you will need a new set of those. Just don't foul new ones all over again. Make sure you fix the reason why they foul.

 

will going from standard NGk plugs to their iridium plugs make a difference?

 

They might make a tiny difference in fuel efficiency that you wouldn't notice unless you had a controlled experimental environment. They last longer, that is for sure, but any bit of poor air/fuel mix will foul even iridium plugs. However, they won't solve your problem.

 

im gonna post some pics of my plugs i pulled today if i can figure it out just to make sure im running rich

 

so here is a couple pictures let me know what you guys think

 

looked at your carb clean and tune dissevered and think im gonaa give it a go my only question is that if im running rich, from the pics of the plugs i think i am, which way do i turn the pilot screw to lean it out. P.S didnt go all the way through it as i didnt have time so if you answered that in their sorry

 

yea those are definately running rich cause of how dark they are.. your gonna wanna clean your carb and do a tune up as well so you can make sure you arent running to rich....

 

clock wise to reduce fuel

also, while you are in there, check the jet needles to see if you have a jet kit. Those are adjustable as well.
