A word of caution about applying anti-seize -- if you choose to use it, please use it sparingly. The first and last couple of threads should be free of lube. If anti-seize ends up on the electrode, ground strap, or the porcelain nose, the plug is going to misfire. If your hands are dirty (anti-seize has a tendency to get all over the place), and you contaminate the external insulator, damage to the components of the ignition system could result. Also, keep the lube off the crush washer to ensure optimum thermal and electrical conductivity of the seat of the plug. In addition, it's a good idea to clean the area of the head against which the spark plug seats to provide sufficient thermal and electrical contact. If you are reusing the plug, clean the washer face also.
Yes, the GZ250 is a nice little motorcycle -- not very fast, but it's comfortable and handles well. I used to have a Suzuki GT185 twin and a Kawasaki KH500 triple. My buddy had a Suzuki T500. Suzuki two-strokes were great bikes -- more reliable than the Kawis.
Yes, those unfamiliar with the bike sometimes think that the engine is a parallel twin because there are two exhaust headers coming out of the cylinder. But, it's a SINGLE!

That's a really nice looking bike. Years ago I had a Suzuki GT380 triple. Two cycle oil injected engine, nice hole shots.

Only 1 spark plug but rather hidden.....fortunately only 1 😂
