I remember reading the Suzuki manual that it should be 0.7 - 0.8mm so just have to re-gap them. Wow, twice the size ? but your plugs don't look like fuel rich.

Looks like those are burning pretty much perfect.I put AC plugs in everything that I can get a cross for.Tracker AC's are R43XLS. I even got AC's in my lawnmower.
Little ramble.I tried pretty much every brand of plug in my bike{'65 T120}but since switching to AC years ago I no longer suffer from dead plug syndrome.
Not that I'd have one,but they don't seem to work well in {shudder}fords

yes, ppl put the Platinum on just so they can run them 100k a gap check every 50k and no trip to store.

but the stock NGKs run really great and for a long time.

i only drive mine 3k a year, (i have a rocket for long trips)
so for em good old NGK, Champion, or AC or even Autolites are over kill.
depends on usage.

cheers.
but for wires, NKG.
and no china junk at all , ever , for ever. (show me ?)
