    Plugs

    Has anybody tried E3 spark plugs in their GS?

    Reminds me of Splitfire plugs that were all the rage once upon a time. Looks like they cost 3x as much as B8ES NGK's so I'd pass.

      not in my gs

      ran them in a little pickup i have. they work fine but i think alot of it is bull. if you change plugs you are likely to see a mileage gain due to a more efficient burn not necessarily because of the plug. i would not shell out the money again

      but thats me and thats in a truck so its not really much help i bet

      give it a shot and let us know

          E3 update

          As posted earlier tried a set of the E3 spark plugs. The results are don't buy them. After running them for a few hundred miles with no noticeable increase in power or millage back on May 16 while heading out for a breakfast ride I had an engine failure on take off so to say. It fell right on it's face stumbling and spitting and not revving so I limped back home and after reinstalling the old iridium plugs it purrs. Oh well another lesson learned.
