2002 with kn filter and kerker slip ons with dyno jet stage 1 kit installed,
i parked the bike a week and a half ago. started it up today to take it to a friends house for a pool party. the bike would often spit and sputter a bit when cold after pulling out of the drive way but would clear up pretty quickly and off i go. i always figured i have the carbs set to rich or something and off i went. well today the same thing happened but felt worse and 5 miles later it didnt clear up. the bike will idle and take off from a start just like it should but as soon as you ask any power out of it feels like a light switch turning off one of the cylinders . no power but when i back off its fine. first thing i did was the peashooter carb clean. it didnt fix it. so i pulled the plugs and no surprise the bike runs rich as the plugs were on the darker side. but one of them was very dark. sitting on the bike the right front cylinder is the culprit. very dark plug. im changing plugs in the morning. hopefully that clears it up. any recommendations on plugs to use? the plugs i pulled out are NGK IRIDIUM DPR8EIX-9
