Which Iridium sparkplugs for 2010 GS/A?

[konfucius]

I ordered a set of NGK DCPR8EIX iridium plugs for my 2010 GSA, but they dont fit, the original plugs are smaller on the 2010 then on my previous 2008 GS, does anyone know which plugs to get 2010 model? And also which spanner to get.

What's wrong with the OE plugs, or are you looking for a bigger bang for your buck?

No noticeable difference as far as I could tell

Ok, I'll have to take a second look, couldn't get my spanner to fit.

just to be clear, I was referring to the difference in the performance of the engine with iridium plugs, not the size of 'em

we buy Iridium Sparks because they burn the mixture in a more efficient way and they have the ability to operate with unstable or less battery strength.
This idea was helpful for operating older bikes. I had my own pair in my old 1150 but saw no difference...

I wouldn't waste your money on Iridium plugs. I've tried them on my 1100 and 1200 and absolutely no difference whatsoever apart from price.

In fact, I'm sure my 1100 runs better with standard plugs

Iridium plugs are meant for extended service periods such as cars doing 12000 miles between services. They were never intended as a performance plug. Platinum and multi electrode plugs are the performance plugs but in reality you will see sod all difference unless you run a highly modified engine.
