Update.
The new plugs I ordered at the dealership arrived, I got em this morning. Thanks to a number of posters telling me I could have gotten them cheaper. But I ordered them and went on with the $17.99 price.
Came home and pulled the old ones. With about 420 miles on the bike, I would have guessed they had 42,000 on them. Just looked real black and burned on the ends. Not “wet”at all, just soot black. In went the new ones. And yea, my stubby fingers were having a problem with the “inside” ones. Pulled the seat, unbolted the back of the tank, stuck a big socket under it, had increased space to work em. Easy them.
Cranked it up, sounded and idled perfect. Out I went in the 43 degree weather. Perfect! No misses, no pops or backfires, no issues whatsoever. Pulled strong at all rev levels. The new plugs did the trick.
Thanks to all.
