Sparkplugs

[adventuredon]

Hi, I have searched - posts are dated pre 2010...
Have ordered Haynes manual - not arrived yet..
so in the meantime, can someone please tell me the sparkplug number for 2010 GS. NGK site has 2 listed a 10mm and 12mm plug. This is mentioned a few places, DCPR8EKC, is this still the correct one?
Any recommended sites to buy from?

If it's a twin cam engine then you need NGK MAR8B-JDS, this is a 10mm plug and has a 14mm hex.

The plug gaps not 10mm
The gap is 0.8mm, the thread is 10mm and the hex is 14mm and no iridium equivalent as yet.
