How many miles on yours?
How was your shut down procedure prior to pulling?
It looks well used. The electrode is out of focus so it's a bit difficult to tell, pretty heavy carbon on the walls.

just pulled after changing my needle setting last night, so about 4 miles since then....yes carbonated, but not white or a light grey as shown on the "bad plug" pics. overall this plug has about 150 miles on it though, run at a much richer setting

regarding the looks of your plug
if I pulled that ((plug thing)) and took a look
I would say that THINGS seem to be burning pretty darn well
that's what I would call ((darn close)) to the color my Grandfather always looked for
especially considering that this is a plug pulled from a two cycle engine -- looks good
ride that MB thing sideways

So I will recheck it in 25 more miles or so, and see how its looking then, will prolly have the plug sandblasted to clean it throughly first though, so we can see from a fresh start

yes -- good picture
yes -- good picture of your plug here
ok -- maybe a little build up noted
but to remember -- we got a two stroke going on here
keeping THINGS lubed and burning some oil is normal
couple of questions -- if you got the time ??
is the engine new ??
what mixture of oil in gas are you using ??
why did you pull the plug -- your MB was running good -- correct ??
have fun as you ride that -- thing sideways
