Default Plug chop results?

I am trying to get my wolverine tuned right and just did a plug chop with a brand new spark plug, and am not too sure of the results... I cranked it up, rode it easy for a few minutes to let it warm up, then did a WOT run down the road for abot 10 seconds, then rode it wot for about 15 seconds on the way back. It looks like it may be a little lean, but im not really sure here are some pics, tell me what you think...

Sorry for the last 2 being blurry, I couldn't get the camera to focus on something so close, but you can still see the color. Anyone have any input? Comparing it to the ones on This page it looks lean. Anyone have any thoughts?

Look in the other post "warrior/Wolverine carb issues"...I described how it ran in detail, I don't know what is wrong with it, I'm gonna try playing with the needle setting some later on.

Your method is not right, you need to run it WOT for as long as you can without hitting the rev limiter, pull the clutch, and shut it off. You can't slow down to turn around or drive back into the garage, check the plug on the side of the road. Your plug looks way rich but without a good plug chop, you can't tell whether it's the mains or needles.
