    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.

SON OF A &#^$*!!!! Just my luck. I grabbed the wrong darn spark plugs. Can I use the NGK-BR8ES in my 1983 GS850 GLD??? They look the same size as the NGK-B8ES.... Please tell me yes....
 
Yes the R stands for resistor, all the other letters and numbers are the same so they are a direct fit.
 
I tried the resistor version of the plugs once on purpose. I dunno why, really.

End difference: nada.

Oh, and get your B8-ES plugs at Advance or Pep Boys auto parts stores. You'll save about a buck each over what they charge down at Ye Olde Cycle Shoppe.

I have been thinking about getting the Iradium (Spelling??) plugs on purpose. Says they last longer burn better and under leaner conditions. But at $8 a pop I hate to waste money on a marketing fluff job :P
 
Actually, the "R" stands for "radial" and your bike is not set up for radial plugs. You have to use bias-ply plugs. :shock:
























Gee, I hope he doesn't believe this suggestion. :oops:

Those plugs are for when you are jamming to the AM-jams you don't hear your motor through the tunes. Or these days talk radio.

Iridium last longer and improve starting and can boost low- midrange torque some as the very fine center electrode makes for a quicker, hotter spark.
I have run them and like them.
 
Well they worked :) So After the ride home tonight I will pull them and see how the bikes running.
