Tkosanic Posted August 9, 2012 Share #1 Posted August 9, 2012 What spark plugs are the best to use in an 83. If it matters the YICS has been disabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twigg Posted August 9, 2012 Share #3 Posted August 9, 2012 I always use ngk dpr8ea-9, stock #4929, get them at autozone, about 2 bucks a piece. Same here. These are the stock plugs recommended for the bike. They just work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
van avery Posted August 9, 2012 Share #4 Posted August 9, 2012 Might check out the following thread. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/archive/index.php/t-27670.html I used Autolites 4163s on the last change and haven't noticed any real difference. They do recommend buying them at an auto parts store rather than Walmart. Seem the second hand one seem to end up at discount stores more often...

I don't think a person can even get any spark plug here for $2. I believe the last ones I bought were over $6 each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
