    the base around the electrode should be black like that. The insulator (the white bit) should be brick - but as your plug is new - it hasn't got any discernible colour yet.
    Leave be or upjet by two points and see if the performance is better or worse. That's about the best advice I have.
    Only one way to find out -

    As I'm without an Enduro style bike at the moment I passed one of the easier local Green lanes I do whilst out on my lads Ped (MBK Ovetto) and decided to give it a try ! in fairness it coped quite well.

    One of my co-workers uncles works in an industrial type paint place, so he just drops stuff off to him and gets it done cheap :)

    I learned that Peugeot TKR belly pans are also available in white, once you clean the dirt, road tar and crap from it. White wasn't a wise choice by Peugeot in the first place but once cleaned up, it looks minty fresh.

    I have done nothing since I went to see the filth on Monday morning. I have since been puttering around at speeds approaching a fully de-restricted glacier. They didn't even look at the scoot. Just my paperwork. Hey-ho. No problemo.
    Friday or Saturday at latest we're going back to rocket-ville with the Sport Pro !

    Did establish one thing though - you can put a stock cylinder on a scoot - with a stock catalysed exhaust - and a Malossi Overrange pack and gear up kit - and it will go quite respectably.
    So the next time you hear 'can't use a gear-up kit etc with stock engine' - ask them if they've actually tried it.....

    Gave it a good clean and stripped the fairings, hopefully can repair them.

    madness! be careful with stones/steps. the ovetto is pretty low and the first thing that hits is the exhaust just under the cylinder. i have seen cylinders/ exhausts destroyed like this........

    Run over a bloody cat on the way home from work :-O
    It jumped out of the hedgerow of a country lane and straight under my front wheel... There was nothing I could do as I saw it last moment in the corner of my eye. I was doing around 50mph and almost came off my ped and into the hedgerow myself.
    I felt bad but there wasn't much I cod do...
