    Recommended battery and spark plugs for 81 GS650?

    In the final stages of my rebuild and need to pick up a battery along with swap out the spark plugs that have been sitting in the engine for 10+ years.

    I tried a couple searches but failed to find anything.

    Thanks!

    Edit: Bike is an E model.

    Get yourself an AGM type battery, If you have a Battery an Bulbs + they can look it up for you. Spark plugs, NGKs D8EAs at .28 gap

        Note that "AGM" is a battery construction style, not a brand name.
