a tad rich (I think)

Ok, my bike seems to be running a tad bit rich.If I roll on the throttle hard in the low rpm's, it coughs, backfires and generally stalls(even with a rekluse). If I'm not mistaken, this is an indicator of too rich? The throttle is not very crisp either... It feels kind of like it's missing snap, anywhere in the rpms. If it is too rich, I play with the fuel/air screw right? And what color will the plug be if it is running rich?

That's just the way R's run.
Should've got an X...

Don't get me started...
Seriously though, I turned the screw in a little bit for the winter(to make it start easier), should I turn it back out? And what color plug indicates proper jetting?

You should've turned the screw out for cold weather and in for warm weather.
The plug should be tan/brown (paper bag), read at the point the insulator intersects the exterior metal (threaded portion).

Okay, thanks. That's probably what I did, I don't remember.
