Check My CV Carb Jetting Please

I know I don't know jack but the plug looks like you could advance the timing a hair and richen the fuel a hair. Lean condition makes a hotter engine specially in summer, could also make it ping on take off. I don't see much for carbon on first couple threads either.

There is no vacuum or intake leak. I replaced those gaskets awhile back but went ahead and checked using propane and carb cleaner. Damn my bike is running great. I hate to mess with it . Do you guys think I will damage it if I continue to run it as-is with the lean front cylinder? You would think if it was running that lean, it would be popping through the carb, surging, or something. Right?

Ok Schexe3X, I added 2 shims as you suggested. It still runs perfect and maybe slightly peppier in the midrange but it could be my imagination. I took it out for about 60 miles I can see some color on the base ring now as well as a very light tan on the electrode, I think you may have nailed it. I actually got 1 more mile per gallon so, Im at 48 mpg. Case close. Im done. Thanks!
