Just wondering with the pics how my plugs look. And a little speed run down the powerline road for fun today. I no the vid is shaky but it was a bit cold out today ;)

Everything all stock. It was about 10* out after the run I did then pulled the plugs. I had 8s in and they seemed to be more wet than the 9s in the pic
 
Also. I think I'm getting idle hang. When I decel it hangs at about 4000 for 3 seconds or so after I'm stopped. Then drips down to about 2200. Is this a problem or where do you adjust this
 
You could have plugged pilots, or they are starting get plugged. You might also need to set your idle lower. Stock is 1600 +/-100. if it still hangs try lowering your idle more to like 1300. But do this when it is hot.
 
I have a question? If the engine is stock and the exhaust is stock, why are you interested in changing the stock jetting? Or are you double just double checking? Just curious, I know you can lean it out for a minimal amount of extra speed but why? Intreaged Al
 
I don't wanna change anything. I'm wondering why I have idle hang and how my spark plugs look. They are at 1 1/2 turns now. And by the looks of it I might wanna run them up to 1 3/4 to richen it up a bit.

I have a slp silencer that is " supposed " to make it run a bit more lean but I don't think it does. Nor do I like the sound much
 
Ok, now I understand where you are coming from. I have a very slight idle hang, but I never worry about it. My SXR idles around 1,250 rpm after the drop. Al
 
Ya I'd richen it up just a touch. Plugs look clean on one side. I'd also shim the secondary up a touch to get rid of that belt squeal. The sled should idle down a lot faster than that even after a run like that.

I can also say while I like the sound of a triple I don't think I could stand that noise for more than a few minutes. Glad I have a twin.
