Hi guys my bike is running a lot better using slight throttle but not perfect,have put on new one way valve old one was knackered.
Have put in new plugs and the 2 plugs in front cylinder look perfect but the 2in rear cylinder are sooty, does this mean I need throttle bodies balanced
Or is there something else I can do first, sorry for sounding like a numpty
Many thanks dave

The rear cylinder should run 0.5% richer than the front so expect slight differences. Having the CO checked and adjusted would be the next step if you think itโ€™s more than slight.

Yep mine does, even though I had Griff tweak the balance. 
It smells of of petrol after a warm start during a ride out too, but it runs fine.
I had to put some E10 in at the weekend after running it on super and couldn't tell any difference.
