    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

This is going to sound silly. But I am not at home right now but I need to be ordering my parts now. I just have no idea to buy 1... 2 or more spark plugs for it because I can't visually see it.

Granted- yes, why not just buy a bunch because they're good to have around.

I'm riding exactly a 1983 gs450TX. Also what exact type of spark plug should I buy? I already bought this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000C5M2MW/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Hope that's okay.
 
For the price of that ONE plug, you could be enjoying several years of riding. :eek:

Granted, the Iridium plugs might last a bit longer, but I have never had any problems with longevity with the standard NGK B8ES plugs. They only cost a couple dollars each at your local auto parts store, and you will need two of them.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you! LOL I just bought a second one before reading your reply. I would have went cheap-o! OH WELL, I guess a few bucks never hurt!

Thanks.
 
Actually the B8ES work better than the expensive ones in these old carbureted engines.
 
2 plugs is all you need.

Manual states

77-85
NGK B8ES

I've got B8ES and my bike runs great.
