just changed my plugs on the attak to the cr10ek, here's a picture of my old plugs, i was using the so called ramair kit from fix power sports which i heard could lean it out can someone tell me if they are and if so how can i richen, thanks
 
I wish you had a bigger picture try using photobuckets for your pics then you dont have to make them small enough for this site to accept them. From what I can tell they look rather dark and burning rich actually.
 
You cant tell anything by pulling yur plugs out in the summer. To check plug color If you have any idle time or cold starts since the last time to rode the sled yoru plugs will be rich looking. Eric
 
Guys this is not how you check plug color,it all depends on what part of the throttle you are trying to access for leaness/richness,most of us want to know how lean it is on top end,to do this you need to be running wfo and shut down your engine and cost to a stop,than check your plugs,if you just started it up and idled it,it may appear rich from the idle cuircuit enrichner that either the EFI has built into it,or from your pilot and needle system for your idle and low end running. Your plugs do look a little rich,but we dont know much about how it was last run,and dont just look at the strap on top of the plug,the center electrod will tell you more as to its color,it will have a ring around it at the top,if its white and working its way down toward the bottom,it generally indicates a leaness condition. :ORC
 
thanks for the input, i added that ram-air kit last year and i was told it might lean it out a little, any ways is there a way to richen or lean the mixture or does the dealer have to do it?
