A Special Note about Email accounts!
DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

A note to old forum members...
I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...
Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Can you tell what's wrong from my sparkplugs?

It's not much to go on, but your 2nd picture it looks like #1 is lean and #3 is rich. You mentioned the idle being high. Start looking for air leaks. And for sure, replace the petcock.

I've thought it was like a cylinder turning on but honestly I've never checked for leaks on the bike I've replaced those intake boot o-rings and a good amount of the airbox hose clamps but like I said never checked!

I say cylinder because when it rises in idle it turns more so into a complete drone but with a faulty petcock I cant base it off anything i guess.

And the bike hasn't yet been finely tuned for the exhaust, it does have a stock airbox but this exhaust is pretty loud and open. The mains are 1 size up and that is where the power is GREAT but like any inline 4 cylinder peak horsepower is where it's always at
