Two questions,any feedback on NGK iridiums and I haven?t lubed the cables since the 90s. Anything new in lube?

Iridiums are resistor plugs, which aren't needed for a GS. Won't hurt anything really though. Only advantage is longer life, not performance. As for cable lube, nothing new. Some guys like the spray stuff using a lube tool and other guys just use motor oil in a baggie. I've done both and they are both fine.Ed
To measure is to know.

Dont bother with the high dollar plugs, they just aren't worth it. Pick up a set of NGK D9EAs and install them. Yes, I know the standard plug is the D8EA but they run better with the 9s, unless it's a high mileage oil burner.

I?ve got 8s and 9s both it?s a 45,000 miler uses no oil was just curious if anyone tried iridiums and what the results were.Comment

I fitted a set of not-quite-iridiums (some other doo-whackery tip) and projected nose ones at that.
Idle and responsiveness improved slightly, but it's not as if it threw the door open to a world of unleashed power or anything like that.
I had more of a power unleashing by running it on 5w40 oil.Dave
