Hi
My bike keeps stopping with sooted up plugs, for some reason the spark plug keeps sootting up with Carbon and shorting out. I have no engine light on and check fuel pressure and that seems to be good. So anyone have any ideas?

Cheers

Sounds like your bike still has the same problem that you keep posting about. Gixermark is a shit name for someone who doesn't have a Gixer, btw.

the engine light will only come on if a sensor is out of its parameters, it won't come on if you've got a dirty air filter or a rag in your airbox inlet

say you air pressure sensor works between 4 and 6 volts, as long as it's between those values no problems, if it goes outside those values too high or inoperative then the light comes on

Most lightly filthy air filter or loud pipe fitted without re-mapping

I've had a new air filter so shouldn't be that. But I did change the exhaust for another one second hand. Could that be it?

Yes a different exhaust can cause running rich
Mostly if the one replaced was standard and the replacement "race"
