It may run hotter. Are they the same plug #'s? I would definately go with what HPD recommends though

Check out this site. it has good info.
I just put and ran a iridium plug in mine. Maybe it's just me. But I was able to wheelie a little better. And the muffler sounds meaner. Again. it could just be me.

You may need a new jet. I dont know if you read my other message,but I replaced the spark plug and it still bogs and hesitates when it is about half throttle. Some new quads need new jets.
