Hey guys,

Had to part ways with the GS last weekend and have these left over.
They are brand new.

12 shipped in the US


Happy riding




GS Fan

Best offer takes them.
Don't have the bike anymore I'm sure someone can use them.

No more bikes :(

GS Fan

Yikes.
I thought 12 was reasonable for a pair considering they are on ebay and Amazon for 7.40 per plug or more.
Thank you anyways Im sure someone on here will need new plugs eventually.

If NYN ends up not getting them, I'll take 'em.

All yours mojo, they are $16 on Amazon and you don't have to wait 2 weeks with no response from the seller.  Not worth the $4 savings.

Hahaha right!
I hadn't noticed that he wasn't well established here.
I'll just get 'em from Amazon, thanks.
Do you have knowledge of how well these iridiums work, compared to the standard plugs?
I hear all sorts of wild claims, but I figure you guys might know the real deal.

I wouldn't call it knowledge, but I'll tell you my experience.  Went from standard to Iridium plugs on my xt225 and there was an immediate improvement in startup.  Bike fired right up and warmed more quickly, whereas it used to take a couple of presses on the starter before it would turn over.  How much of that was due to new plugs vs old ones?  Dunno, but that was certainly part of it.  On the GS my old plugs were shot and I changed to Iridium plugs at the same time I cleaned the carbs so hard to tell how much of the improvement was due to the plugs.

To me it seems worth it to pay a couple dollars extra for a more premium product.  I have a stock air filter because a K&N filter cost $40 more.  So I'm not sure all premium products are worth it, but I do think paying $2 or $3 bucks for reportedly better plugs is worth it.
