With a resistor will make no difference to the bike, all that matters is the plug is the same reach and heat range.

Ok but, the R stands for resistor which reduces electrical interference with, radios, TVs etc, has no effect on the engine what so ever.

Yep, it was made worse by electronic ignition, much stronger spark etc.
