    Performance Spark Plugs? gs550 '77

    Searched but came up short, please excuse if this is a double post.


    looking to see what everyone runs for spark plugs


    Current mods include plus stage jets (pilot/main), pretty open cored exhaust, and velocity stacks.

    does anyone run a performance plug or just a generic ngk ones, worth wile running step colder or hotter plugs?

    The stock B8ES NGKs are fine.

      That's your best value

      I've never heard of a performance plug that actually did anything other than empty your wallet

        I worked for a company that tested the various types of plugs; there was basically no difference except for the longer life of the more exotic plugs. If you have a vehicle where it takes a day to change plugs, they are worth it. If not, save your money for your beverage of choice.

          But the ones with 7 Palladium-alloy-coated electrodes and diamond powder insulators get 20% better HP on the Dyno's and 30% increased fuel mileage. I SAW IT ON TV, IT MUST BE TRUE!

          Everyone keeps telling me that "you get what you pay for", then you say I should put $2 plugs in my bike. Next you're going to tell me that my SpiralMax doesn't work. Some help you are!

            What you really need is one of those water softeners that clamp around your pipe. No salt, no electricity, no batteries. They gotta work, it says so on TV!
