[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] Hey mxrookie,

Have you checked out the return line kinks problem as a possibility? I saw somewhere that the return lines can have an effect on blackening plugs due to high pump pressures. You may want to cosider as a possible check.

I was at the ITP Quadcross at Glen Helen this weekend and the C-dale mechanic the was there told me to adjust my valves. My bike would be very hard starting cold, but once warmed up, no problems. Have not finished the job yet though. Good luck!
