Spark Plugs… Mechs please take a look

Okay so a little background first… 2014 Can Am XMR 650. It has 160 miles now… the first 100 miles were with stock exhaust and the last 60 was running the looney tuned slip on. i have attached pictures of the spark plugs to get opinions on how they look, whether they are rich or lean. I think they look a little rich but otherwise good. I am posting to ad to the big debate on whether a tune is needed for a slip-on (This of course I decided NO tune after talking in length with VForceJohn). Opinions are greatly appreciated in Advance!

Ordering New XMR 800

I’m heading in this week to order a 2015 XMR 800, I’m considering the following accesories and wondering what your guys thoughts are on what I’ve picked?

BRP Extended Snorkel
BRP Pro Taper Bar
BRP Yellow & Black Wind Deflectors
BRP Aluminum Wrap Around Mounts For The Deflectors
BRP Hand & Thumb Warmers
BRP XT Rear Bumper
BRP Heavy Duty Maverick 1000 XMR CVT Belt
BRP Fox Shocks Kit (Not X-Package)
1000 XMR Digital/Analog Gauge Cluster

I’ve noticed from members two things go wrong on the new 800 XMR, the front shocks and the belt, so I am hoping both those accessories cure the problem. I’m not interested in going aftermarket with parts, I’d like to get it all installed from day 1 and financed in the OTD pricing.

What do you guys think?

RJWC Exhaust

Just got my slip on from RJWC for my xmr 1000. Anyone who has this exhaust i need to know, is the quiet core already in it? Do i need to unbolt and pull it out? Haven’t installed it yet but plan to tomorrow.

g1 xmr helix upgrade?

well don’t ask me how but i cracked my helix on my stock 2012 g1 xmr, so should i just buy the same helix from the dealer or get a spring and helix from 650, or aftermarket or what? what would be the benefits of doing this, don’t know much about clutching.

Belt size

Looking to buy a spare belt. Is the belt for the 2104 the same size as the 2015? I’ve been looking at the Gates belts on Amazon with no matches for 2015. 30G3750 and 30C3750 showing matches for the 2014.
