will post more shortly.
uh, these plugs were in the bike when i bought it about 200 miles ago (8.7K miles) and the bike is roughly at 8.9K miles
the front cylinder wasnt firing, and the bike was running off one cylinder.
i thought the plug might have been like this just due to usage/age, but my friend told me to post anyways.
(and i also have no clue what you asked, lol. i'm not a gearhead in any way...)

This IS the wrong section for this. Do yourselves a favor and buy the manual for the bike, it will tell you everything you need to know. For now, just change the plugs and air filter.

I'm not the best at reading plugs but I can tell you a few things to get you pointed in the correct direction.
First, what is the information exactly that you want?
Second, all but one of those pictures are useless for reading plugs.
Third, to read timing and air/fuel the plugs must be new. Minimal idling, make a pass, shut down at or immediately after wide open throttle, and pulled.
Fourth, the threaded portion of the plug must be removed to take pictures and post them like these in order to see the fuel ring:
