Hi Denis.

Out of curiosity:

What type plugs are you using? I do a lot of highway driving and don't
have that problem. But mine are not quite what is recommended in
Guzziology.

Hi Dennis, I was wondering....do you get much popping on the bike when
you run at high rpm or on a decel? What's your fuel mileage? I have
been noticing that my bike's plug run a little whittish but have never
thought much about it since the bike seems to run ok. I guess I should
be concerned about burning the valves? I guess the thing to do is to
lower (raise) the needle a notch and observe the performance. By the
way...your bike is stock right? Regards...Ian

I have a concern over a plug reading I took after the
Maryland Rally. Most of my riding time on my Eldo is spent
riding country roads at a brisk but leisurely pace, on and
off the throttle thru turns, slowing thru small towns, etc.
Kind of like our loop loop at the Md Rally. The only
sensible way from my house to the Maryland Rally, however,
is highway riding. I spent the larger part of my ride to
and from the Maryland Rally consistently at 65-80mph. I did
a plug check the following day after arriving home, and
found the plugs to be more white than is healthy. Usually,
I find them a more tan to chocolate color. Here's the
question(s):1. Should I be concerned about this condition,
since I don't spend the major portion of my riding time at
these consistent speeds?2. If I wanted to make an
adjustment, would it be to the needle, or main,
what?Thanks,Dennis Jones
