Tried and tested by a forum member, hardly unknown!
Tested for how long? Did he have a look at the inside, the wires, the quality of the isolation in there? If a coil is of a known brand, you can buy it, even when it's made in P.R.C. If it's a no brand and made in P.R.C, look elswehere. My advice.

It used to be part of a Suzuki service schedule to swop the plugs 1 to 4 and 2 to 3 to even out the spark erosion wear
Yep, you can do that, but personally I never felt the need, meaning: I never noticed a difference in erosion of the electrodes in such a degree that I've would have judged swopping necessary.

First, I hope you all enjoy your cheap generic coils of unknown quality and further... [...]
If the coils are connected the wrong way round the bike will run but the HT spark will be reversed so instead of jumping from the centre spark plug tip to earth the spark path is reversed. {...}
To put it simple: in a wasted spark system, one of the two, is already jumping from ground to center electrode, so if the spark of say #1 plug becomes reversed, than the #4 plug will be reversed the other way around, because they are one circuit. For the running of the engine, it makes no difference which of the two fires from ground to center electrode: performance is the same.

Generic coils often do not have the wires right; not only that the colors don't match, but also the connectors have the gender mixed up: females where they should be male and vice versa. Your choice.

Usually the lens will have 'H4' in the center of the glass, if the reflector is fit for halogen bulbs.
The socalled 'charging shortcoming' of the these bikes is an urban myth. I've had a 55/60 Watts bulb all those years - my model came standard with it! - and never had a problem, not even with 3 Ohms coils and a transistor ignition. Every ride I return to the garage with a better charged battery than I took of with. 44 years of experience here. I recommend Philips. The Extreme Vision Moto H4 and Osram Nightbreaker came out best in tests and that Philips was especially developed for motorcycles and can cope with vibrations up to 10G.

Good luck with the SBS ones, they squealed when I used them.
They're now in a box under my bench with other bits and bobs labelled shite...
I know they're a tight fit. Have you tried removing paint from the sides?

Those are EBC FA13. I had them decades ago and replaced them soon thereafter (pic). They sqeal like a pig. Also you need to remove paint from the sides and chamfer them somewhat.
I now have SBS Street Organic 501HF. Mwah... ok, but nothing special.

Two dealers in Holland that work on these bikes on a daily base have reported problems with resistor plugs on our bikes. Trigger has reported the same in: http://www.sohc.co.uk/index.php/topic,28181.msg264374.html#msg264374 It's a year old debate. I don't see any advantage whatsoever adding resistance over what NGK recommends.

Not necessarily, but realise you'll then have a total of 20kΩ resistance in a circuit... Personally I consider that a lot and it is not needed. The French manual, that has been composed in colloberation with Honda France, advises to replace plugcaps when they read 8kΩ or more. Claims made by some members of the international forum - and nowhere else! -that adding resistance is benificial for spark duration, have so far remained unproven. And even then it remains to be seen it will effect in better running.

So far nobody knows. Why did you choose 'R' plugs?

My 550 had the same problem, new switch sorted it.
Usually it's just the switch. Sooner or later they all need replacement.

Any blockage in the air intake, like a forgotten cloth underneath the seat?

[...] Julie the needle is on groove four from the top, I understand that's where the US bikes were, is that right? [...]
For a full understanding and why some of us hold 4 th position of te needleclip for questionable, you may want to consult this overview and read the subnotes in particular. For an experiment I have my needleclips in 4 th. So far I regret it. In all other markets that also had the 627B carbs, 3 rd position was standard... Same goes for the markets that had the 649A carbs.

Just thought I'd ask my floats are at 22mm and it's running very rich, I have Hendler carb kits on the way as I suspect a wire has been used to clear the jets....can anyone please confirm the float height...
You may want to double check your measurement first, by applying this method: http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php/topic,185754.msg2151647.html#msg2151647I measured 50ml exactly but I wouldn't worry if you measure 2ml more or less.

Why not? If you can design for whole numbers you can design for half way
In my understanding most of us took the D8ES-L heat range for in between 7 and 8.
