    What spark plugs do I need?

    Somehow when I search the number on my spark plugs BR8ES the Internet and O'reilly Auto Parts brings up a spark plug that has a different tip that goes into the the spark plug boot.

    What's going on here? I have a '79 GS850.



    I got them at O'reilly's a year ago but now they can't find them in there system. The B8ES have the same tip.
    Does it even matter?

    Only difference is the BR8ES has an inbuilt suppression resistor if you'r using non-suppressed HT leads or caps. If you're already equipped with said leads and caps, the BRs will still work, but you'd be cutting down your spark energy.

      You can unscrew the outer tip from the plugs that you pick up from OReillys
