I run Autolite 3923 (which is the same copper core design plug in a larger size) in both of my BMW motorcycles. Have not run them in the scooter, but they've been making spark plugs for a long time, probably know what they are doing.

Welcome to the forum!

It should be fine as they should deliver the spark acceptably, just remember to properly gap the plug.

Spark plugs are generically pregaped, but that does not mean they are gaped to the specs of your application, nor does it mean that someone in the distribution or shipping chain did not drop it and alter the gap.
