I wish mine looked like that!
"reading" plugs in a street bike can only give a general indication of mixture and temperature.You're reading what the plug was doing last...usually on a street bike, thats idling before shut off. A truly useful plug reading is done by killing the motor at speed ,coasting to a stop, and looking then.
I'm still getting used to my plugs looking far lighter than I'm used to seeing on my past carbuerated machines. DDFI is a whole new ball game. Blake and others have suggested to me that if there are no other indications of trouble-knocking,backfire,etc.- ride it.
