i am running a BR8ES right now but i have heard that running a hotter plug helps a lot my mods are:

New top and bottom end
wiseco piston
two base gaskets for raised port timing
CR250 head gasket more more compression
LRD unlimited CDI
fmf pipe and silenver
K & N filter with outerwears
36mm Keihin PJ flatslide carb

A hotter plug will create more heat, more heat, and higher compression don't work together. If you are experiencing plug fouling, or your really slow, get a hotter plug. If your bike is running fine, doesn't foul plugs and has more compression than before, run the same plug. I blew up my old CR250 with a hotter plug, and it wasn't pretty when i took it apart.

First check your jetting! You just might be running to rich.
