Can I tell if my bike is running rich or lean from one ride?

You might have been dogging it a bit the 1st time out being a new bike (to you).  Your jetting sounds like it is right or very close.  You might just have to try a few bike/plug/oil combos until you find one that lasts.  Under normal riding conditions I don't think that any bike should foul a plug.  On my 500 I run a projected nose plug BPR8ES. Cheap and runs clean for a season (for me).  Most here use the BR8EIX iridium.  I haven't tried it yet (soon) but sounds like an excellent plug that lasts forever.  It is certainly a good idea to do a full throttle plug run (on a new plug) to see where your at. Might avoid a nasty surprise later.  Hope this helps. Cam.

Thanks for the advice, And this isnt the first ride Ive went on Ive had the bike for about 1.5 years now and rode it alot :P Since I have been coming to this site Ive been concerned about jetting since so many people are oblivious to it.

I went to the dunes this weekend at sea level and pulled the same plug outa my bike and it was a golden tan color, So Im pretty happy
