Wet bottom plugs

I took this weekend to do some maintenance on my 1100. While checking valve clearance that we perfect I removed all four plugs. Main plugs were fine grayish brown completely dry. Bottom plugs how ever were brown on the main electrode but had some oil on the threads. Should I be concerned. Bike runs smooth as silk no problems?

Okay

Everything is fine. The bottom plugs always run a little richer. Just ride and forget about it.

you might have a weak coil run it wihout the tops and see if it runs correctly
check it at high rpms as well.
