Look like mine maybe a little darker. Those don't worry me. Did you pull them because you are experiencing an issue?

They appear to be perfectly normal.
Tan deposits are from the additives in gasoline.
Have a look at this picture chart of normal and abnormal spark plug tips http://www.verrill.com/moto/sellingguid ... rchart.htm

Those don't look out of line at all, to be honest. What problem are you experiencing?

I use the photos from the manuals as I haven't seen all the different ways a plug can look. My experience says that your plugs look normal. - BC

I'd check the gap, it looks a little large and the tips look a little eroded, but it doesn't look like they've failed prematurely.

They look like plugs that are fine that have been in for too long. Not like there's some internal damage or problem. Why do you think they look bad? Obviously they're not going to look like a brand new plug, they've been withstanding fire for thousands of cycles.

Not eroded, those are the iridium plugs that have the tiny electrodes. They look good to me. Do you know how many miles are on them? I would check the gap and clean them up.

The straps don't looked domed with a large gap left?
