16:1...uhhh, yeah.  That's one way to foul a plug.  I have 32:1 in my lawn boy 2 stroke motor and I have to change the plug just about every year.

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.

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?

I'm reasonably certain the the laughing smiley means he was joking.  I'm pretty sure he knows that plugs don't impact oil consumption.

Very true, he's not gsJack for nothing.
But like he said, if they could, it would be very interesting..

sad to say.. I DID notice a difference, although the majority of the video seems to indicate "there is no difference" :D

The pattern and lack-of-backfire/misfire seemed identical to me. but the brisk one, had a very very slightly higher pitched overtone to it, on idle.

That being said.. I doubt that the idle always sounds the same, even on the same bike, all the time.
So, who knows? :-/
