Plug Chop Opinions Wanted

[jdels]

Just finished a functional restoration on a 1981 XT250.  Been sitting since 1992, original owner.  Exhaust was rotted off but I found an original Supertrapp fo the old girl.  Did a nice long wide open fifth gear run and shut it down. About 25 miles on the plug.  Bike will likely see 'around the property' duty.  Seems a touch lean but I'm inclined to leave it be.  Opinions?

Hard to tell but if that's cardboard brown (vs. a lot lighter color) .... good to go

If it runs good I'd leave it be.

If it is still running after 30 years it will be fine

Guy just picked it up.  Been 30 years since he rode it.  Grin from ear to ear.  Nice to put some old iron back into service.

Cool bike....it might be slightly lean the burn mark on the side electrode comes well past the bend and almost to the threads. It's probably fine now but be careful going into fall.
