They'll be ok if you never go over 4000rpm and only do very short distances. Suzuki recommended B8s for a reason. Don't get resistor plugs either. Hot plugs = holed pistons.
Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.

Thanks, I’ve ordered the B8s no peace of mind otherwise.
