Just got my RT back from the dealer after it's 600 mile service. They had to replace all four plugs due to the carbon build-up. I saw the plugs - they looked pretty bad. The dealer thought the amount of build-up was very abnormal, and said that it's due to me lugging the engine. Problem is, I don't think I've really been lugging it. I've usually been shifting at 4000, the max allowed during break-in, or sometimes a little higher. For steady riding, I normally kept it between 3500-4000.
Is the dealer right, and I just need to ride at higher RPM? Or could there be something wrong with the bike?
Thanks in advance for your comments.
P.S. I agree with all those who've posted about how much better the bikes run after that first service. Less vibration, smoother shifting, and the bike does seem happier at higher revs.
