I'm no alky guru at all but you do not go by color on alky. You go by the burned plating on the flat base of the threaded part of the plug. You need to start with new plugs/plug. If it's really wet of course it would be rich. If it's burned 1/4 of the way around the base it's slightly rich. You want it to be burned 180 degrees or basically burned from "9 oclock" to "3 oclock" with the ground strap at the top being "12 oclock". If it's burned all the way around and probably very dry it's lean.

you use color for alky as well,alcohol evaporates you will not get a correct reading from wetness of plug

Well there you go. My bike will be on alky in a couple weeks. Good to know. Thx

your correct about the burn which creates the color but i personally wouldnt go off wetness of plug only on alky
