The GS500 Wiki is a great place to start, if you want to do anything yourself. It's a super easy job to do btw...

I like NGK spark plugs, the two kinds you can get are below.

Plug Type | Part number
Standard Plug: DPR8EA-9 #
Iridium Plug: DPR8EIX-9

Iridium is basically a higher performance plug with claimed toleration for higher heats and less fouling.

had NGK oem  moved up to a NGK cooler model (don't ask I let the mechanics deal with details like part numbers)  :flipoff:

I switched cause I do 90% highway riding in 100+ a little better response, but takes longer to warm up...
