Well the plugs were just replaced about 1100miles ago, so I can do them again, but they should be like new. I do like the 3/4k-7k ish in 2nd gear a lot, that's fun. I think my bike runs a tad rich, I can smell it, plus I have a k&n filter, but no tune/jetted for it, it was in the bike when I bought it. I always give the bike time to warm up, never go over 3k ish until I'm sure it is. But I usually let it idle while I'm putting my gloves/helmet on. thanks for the help, I'll look into getting some new plugs, but like I said, it always starts/doesn't give me any issues, so is this a bad thing, or just a little hiccup on cold starts?
