071's are a good plug, and these are used on the cossie as well, I think they're std fit on the rst's ?
I wouldn't widen the gap, as this can promote misfires if coil is not very good.
Wider gaps actually came about for lean burn engines.

Hi matey

I would go for the NGK BCR8ES spark plugs set at 0.8mm gap.

Highly recommended for the RST as well as the 071's
