By the looks of it, its ancient... in your case, get a new one and put it in and run it real hard for about 15 minutes then check it and post pics.

Ancient it be... Original plug that came from the factory i believe.... so that would make it atleast 7 years old... but for it's age... what do you think..??

Way to rich by the looks of it, but like trail said-looks beat to hell and back. Id swap a new plug in then post back.

Well... i'll get to it... but don't expect it soon.. Wifey grounded me for a bit... been workin on it a lot lately... and it's the beginning of Mud season up here... so there's not a lot of places to ride...

I am surprised it still runs being the orig plug, 7 years old at that.. I would suggest replacing the plug every year, just for ****s and giggles.. That is extremely rich, fouled..

I'll give you .02 cents for it, but you gotta cover the shipping.

If you all change it that much thats cool. But if the bike is running up to par, no real reason to change it that many times.. Hey different strokes for different folks..

Old that is!!! I change my plug 2 times a year. btw, why are there an 8 and a 9 heat range under a parts catalog if the stock ne comes with the 8?

I'd just spray some brake cleaner on it, scrub it with a toothbrush, and keep running it!

My ATC250sx has only had 3 spark plugs her whole life! And she's a '85!
