I always thought it was more what was on the contact points

Yeah if the electrode and strap are fouling that means you're running quite rich (or your plugs are buggered).

though if there is actual white stuff on the insulators then not so good?

Nah no white flecks or peppering or anything

Mine always seem to have a bit of carbon build up like the middle top pic but not so bad? (What does this mean?)

Yeah the porcelain insulator is supposed to go a tan/light brown colour when your A/F mixture is spot on. If you're getting a lot of soot on the insulator it's probably a bit rich on the mains.
A bit of colour on the insulator is good though, which is why I am wondering why mine is staying so white.

[EDIT] Went for another long ride, pulled the rear plugs and took a photo (they were identical).

Maybe you need to ride it more?;-)

Odd, I have as light hang so would have said a bit lean for me esp since I'm running 115 and 118's on a half system

What are your A/F screws set to?

[Icemaestro]

Uhh think 2 or 2.25? As per cammo's guide for a half system so slightly richer than stock?....

Ah yep, might need to go another 8th out to get rid of the hang. How's your low speed cruise? (1st gear in parking lots etc)

Fine I think? What would I be looking for?

Slightly erratic exhaust note while holding throttle steady at low RPM, and feeling a bit down on power from low revs.

Nope, steady and plenty of oomph :-)

Well never mind then :P
With my cut standard exhaust and very open muffler I've found the sweet spot is 2 3/8ths out on the A/F screws.
That's with a sub 1000km old air filter and new plugs though.

Decided to sell my NC30 instead of storing it while I'm overseas.

Here's the KB link if you lot are interested.

How long you away for?:-( Could look after it for you instead?;-)

Away for a year (perhaps more depending on circumstances). I really want to just put it under a tarp in someones garage, but I need the money more than I need a bike in storage

So many NC30s for sale right now:

I know! Not great for us! Though the 6200 and 4700 ones with Chinese fairings are dreaming! And then the other cheapie with Chinese plastic as well...tbh that red white one looks nice and tidy...though who knows how well looked after
