    That's the one. Make sure it is gapped correctly according to your manual. usually correct out of the box, but be sure.

      Strangely enough, the stock plug works, no matter what you do to the engine.

          You gotta use the right heat range and type, there really isn't much "adaptability" with these bikes, when it comes to spark plugs.

              The digit in the name tells the heat range of the plug. A 7 is hotter than an 8 which is hotter than a 9. There are ways to tell which range would be optimal, but for the most part the Suzuki recommended range will do just fine.
