    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I WANT TO GET NEW PLUGS FOR MY 79 GS750L. SHOULD I GET LIKE SOME PLATINUM OR SPECIAL PLUGS FOR IT, MAYBE SPLITFIRE. OR SHOULD I JUST REPLACE IT WITH THE REGULAR B8ES NGK'S?
 
Re: NEW SPARK PLUGS

There is nothing to be gained in my experience between the standard NGK B8ES for that bike and the $50 a set iridium plugs. Dont waste your money.

Yup, just use the standard plugs. The exotic materials and shapes are a complete waste of money in a GS.

Yup. I ran a set of iridium plugs in last year, and they ran clean for ....about 15000km. I've got stock plugs now, show the same amount of stuff after 6, but they are much cheaper, so I just replace them.
 
Is the cost compared to the amount of time that they last showing a savings or are they like synthetic oil((i like synthetic oil just in case that sounds negative)) :lol:
 
If it's just a normal street-bike, go for the regular cheapo plugs.

My $0.02.

sprk plugs other than thier heat range are usually just a matter of opinion or advertising hype.
Probably in te category of oil and tire threads.
