..unless of course the bike runs slightly rich in the first place - but mine doesnt - and the plug electrodes are a white tan colour which indicated to me that I would not want to go any further with in terms of letting more air in as I suspect the plugs would overheat.
understand you there tweety if your at a nice tan colour thats all good if your running white you either weak or got an air leak !!
sounds like you need to richen her up abit even if you dont fit a k+n it still better to run slightly rich rather than weak as weak will make it overheat and possibly if not probably cause problems
warm engine up n go out for a ride n do a PLUG CHOP
get a quiet stretch of road run the bike up to say about 4th gear 7000-8000rpm n hit the kill switch pull over n take no1 + no4 plug out and examine
adjust as necessary etc
waters wet, shit stinks !
