    i am going to change the plugs on my 85 xj700 because i do not know the last time they were changed. Does anyone know what kind i should buy and possibly the size? Can i get them at an autoparts store or do i need to find a bike shop? Thanks

    Buy them wherever you can find them!
    Parts diagram says you need
    NGK BP8ES ... or the equivalent Champion, or flavor of your choice.

    I know some people will disagree with me, but plugs don't really need to be changed unless there is something wrong with them. If they aren't damaged, or excessively worn, and the bike runs fine, just make sure to gap them to the proper dimension and leave them alone.

    if you go to any parts store, they can look up your bike and get you what you need.
    I know car quest can get the oil filter, too.
