With 96k miles on the clock my 02 GS still starts and runs flawlessly so I don't see the need for better plugs at this time.  However, if anyone can report and confirm reduced oil consumption with these plugs I will be very interested.   :icon_lol:
Plugs can't affect oil consumption.
Oil consumption is oil leaking around things inside the engine. Better combustion won't change that.
The plugs do give better power and slightly better gas mileage.

I was going to post the same thing, but I figured Jack was making light of these plug's seemingly miraculous properties. They're like the Jesus plug...able to cure all ills.  :)

I'm in need of new plugs soonish. I might have to have a set of these shipped to NZ.

Well, if you have better gas mileage it means you are using less gas. Since the oil injector mixes oil and gas at about a 1:30 ratio, then you will get less oil consumption. That in turn makes the bike easier to kick start.
...am I missing something.
What bike are we talking about here..?

Easy. After installing the plugs Adidas' bikes sprouted kick starters and became two strokes. I was right, they are Jesus plugs. Hallelujah!  :flipoff:

But, seriously, I suppose that in a two stroke reduced fuel consumption must mean reduced oil consumption too.

We are making a poor attempt thinking gsJack was really joking about the plugs reducing oil consumption.
he had a smiley face so maybe he was joking?

Is $18 for one or two?
Sounds like $17.99 that I saw last night for one plug. Magnum Tuning was the seller I saw on ebay - same people, basically the same price.
$34.95 on amazon is for two plugs.
And if you truly found a bargain, why no link?

Yeah I saw that aswell. Wouldn't be a bad deal for a thumper. Although having a spare isn't ever a bad idea.

I thought we gave everyone a freebie, then beat the sheets the second time they mess up. Like the rustle you hear just before the drop bear jumps you...a warning shot, per say.

Anyone try these out in a cager?  I'm assuming that they would yield the same results, but just curious.

Somebody needs to try these plugs with Ethanol Free Gas. I've been running it in my bike for a couple of weeks now and see much of the same benefits you guys are seeing from the plugs. I wounder if the two together would turn the puny Banner GS into the HULK GS!
Why are you looking here?

1310

Bought these plugs on the strong recommendations of this forum and  found many of the same benefits. Particularly, I like the quick warmup, however I have noticed hesitation to start. It may take 10-20 seconds to start with the choke on, sometimes with a backfire or two. I haven't changed anything else recently. Any thoughts on this? I am not in the habit of throttling it while starting. Should I?

gsatterw

So I got mine in the mail, stuffed them in, and...well I'm not totally impressed. I'd be lying if i said I experienced the quick start up...cause I didn't. I mean, it was quick, but no quicker than usual. I guess I should mention that I went from Iridium plugs to these. I did notice it tug a bit more at really low rpm's, and the sound sounded fatter in general. Worth the $34 ehh, maybe. Iridium are just as good, in my noobish opinion.

Try less  choke and a little  throttle if necessary. I find with these MUCH LESS choke.

Well for those who dont know, my other bike finally got here and I swapped over the engine. I put these plugs in and with no choke it is a turn key start. With choke on it will not start but just to be able to hold the starter for a second or so and it start is pretty nice to me.

One thing I'll add to this thread.  Make sure that you keep up on your required maintenance.  My bike had the stock plugs the first few thousand miles.  Started having problems with cold-blooded starting.  Switched to Iridiums.  Worked better.  Re-jetted shortly after that.  Helped with warm-ups. 

7000 miles comes.  Cleaned plugs cause they were dirty.  Worked a little better, but not great.

9000 miles comes.  Runs terrible cold, great warm.  Was thinking of these plugs, then realized that I had not adjusted the valves ever.  Adjusted the valves (the exhaust was <.03 on left, and barely in spec on right) and now runs like a top hot, cold, and warm.

The point of all of this is yes, the plugs are valuable...but don't just hang your hat on them.  In an internal combustion engine, plugs are only part of the equation.
Bikeless and Broke at the moment...
