Couldn't have said it better. Utterly ridiculous.
I spoke with my professionally trained motorcycle repair co-worker and he said if it's furry but the color is good then it's lean and not getting enough fuel to cool the plug. I didn't know plugs needed to be cooled.
Anyway, I put the $12.36 stealership 122 MJ in it.
I am expecting that for that price it'll fix all my worldly motorcycle problems, and do the dishes as well.

I think you are probably going to be right on that.
He tore it up today, and ran much faster than I expected to the point of making me nervous. He layed it over 3 times going slow, but overall did 300% better than I expected.
At times he was faster than me.
Its a BR10EG, and it's black and sooty as well.

Last night I installed a 1 size smaller PJ.
This made the air screw more functional, I.E. - when I turned it, it affected the running of the bike at idle, whereas it had no effect before).
So after some adjustments, warming it up, and all in my garage (no riding or loading), I revved it up and did a plug chop at high RPMs.
Probably not the proper condition, but when I pulled the plug it was not quite soaking wet, but was definitely not dry or the mocha color. I was able to easily wipe off some of the "wetness" from the plug.
So now I am wondering;
Should I drop the MJ one size, or drop the needle clip one position?
Is this a grey area?

Actually, I listened to your thoughts on the Yamalube sootiness thing, and decided to NOT run full Yamalube, and mixed it with some Wal-Mart oil. I also took the advice of yo Dadda and poured in just a bit more oil in the tank for the first tank.
What is in the 80 now is a mixture of Yamalube and Wal-Mart 2T oil. Since I am not a fan of Wal-Mart, I will be buying an alternative. Maybe Belray or Royal Purple.
Zach will be here tomorrow at 1pm and we are going to take the tool kit and the jet kit and go out to the dez and do some runs.
Run it, take a look at the plug, and re-jet accordingly.
Trying to get both the YZ and CR ready for AZCP on Saturday.
