Hey,

New plugs put in, went for 50 km ride at variety of speeds: stop'n'go, country roads and highway speeds ~130 kmh.

Took them out to check on them as I had some wet fouling on the previous ones (BPR7ES and BP7ES from PO). I put in BR7ES' cause that's all my local shop had and figured it'd be okay after some research on here.

How do they look to you guys?

Bike runs fine, some valve noise that I posted a video of on here yesterday. Also some slight faint popping from both trumpet mufflers as I decelerate. Gonna clean the carbs soon (ordered new intake boots, here in 9-11 days) and set the mixture screws a la advice on this forum.

Otherwise full powerband, revs to 9k no problem, lots of torque. Such a fun bike!

Little bit of bucking at low speeds but the throttle cable has some play that I need to adjust and also can attribute to my beginner lack of smooth roll on/off when shifting.

Was getting some whitish-grey smoke out of the mufflers after spraying in carb cleaner in the carbs and switching the plugs but has cleared entirely.

Thoughts?

Thanks!
