Just finished one of the bike jobs for the day and thought I'de check the condition of the spark plug. Seemed mostly okay but not sure what to make of the tiny lumps of what feels like exhaust spooge on it?

By cheapy I meant this.
Could this seriously be the cause?! In my mx bikes I have chucked any old crap in and they seem to love it
Is it just not combusting fully?

Maybe because of that "power sustain formula"

You can never under estimate the value of using good quality oil in an engine. Oil is like blood, the richer the better!!!
