    NEW SPARK PLUGS

    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))

                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.
