Your spark will be hotter if you simply change to non-resistor plugs.

With NGK plugs, the lower the number the Hotter the heat range.  Try to get them without the R in the number.

D7EA (or S) is correct for your bike.
D6EA would be hotter heat range.  This would suck less heat out of the combustion area.
