    How many spark plugs in 83 gs450?

    This is going to sound silly. But I am not at home right now but I need to be ordering my parts now. I just have no idea to buy 1... 2 or more spark plugs for it because I can't visually see it.

    Granted- yes, why not just buy a bunch because they're good to have around.

    I'm riding exactly a 1983 gs450TX. Also what exact type of spark plug should I buy? I already bought this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Hope that's okay.

    For the price of that ONE plug, you could be enjoying several years of riding.

    Granted, the Iridium plugs might last a bit longer, but I have never had any problems with longevity with the standard NGK B8ES plugs. They only cost a couple dollars each at your local auto parts store, and you will need two of them.

      Thank you! LOL I just bought a second one before reading your reply. I would have went cheap-o! OH WELL, I guess a few bucks never hurt!

      Thanks.

        Actually the B8ES work better than the expensive ones in these old carbureted engines.

          2 plugs is all you need.

          Manual states

          77-85
          NGK B8ES
          ND W24ES

          86+
          NGK B8ES
          ND W24ES-U

          I've got B8ES and my bike runs great.
