I need a Wrench for the Plugs on my GS
HELP!! I am unable to find the correct wrench to remove (and replace) the plugs on my 82' GS1100E. What size should it be and where should I go to get this tool?Tags: None

Spark plug wrench size 13/16 inch or 21 millimetres.
(deep socket)
Any auto supply, tool store or hardware should have them.
A socket intended for spark plugs usually comes with a flexible insert that holds the plug in the socket while being removed or replaced."If you scare people enough, they will demand removal of freedom. This is the path to tyranny."

I'd have to beg to differ, it's an 18mm,for E model, if you can't find one for sparkplugs, just get a deep 18 and cut a 1" piece of 3/8" fuel line and insert in socket to protect plug ceramic

correct daveo, the 16 valve engine's use a smaller plug than the 8valve "G" engines. I believe the 18mm translates to a 3/4 inch socket.

Use 18MM
A 3/4 inch socket would probably work but I'd shell out the 3 or 4 bucks and get an 18mm. They sell them at Kragen, Napa or any autoparts store and, at least in my area, sell for slightly over $3. Go ahead and splurge!!1980 GS1100E....Number 15!
