What would be the benifit of me going to a hotter plug? I have a K & N air filter and Cobra F1s slip on exhaust.

Plug tuning (going hotter/cooler) should be reserved to when you can no longer attain the correct setting by further adjustments of the carbs, or due to exceptional riding circumstances (i.e. - extremely short runs or extremely long ones, to help the plug stay in the right temp range to burn of contaminants).
The link that Trinc posted has the fully skinny

A small hijack: I found out that the previous owner for some reason put hotter type plugs on mine (DR8ES-L in place of the stock DR8ES)... I'm thinking about switching back to stock to see whatever difference it may make (and maybe why he put them there) - could this hurt my engine in any way? I only risk to foul them by going colder, right?
I've got a K&N filter (small donut) and a full Yosh system, don't know if the carbs are jetted (going to find out soon)...

In the USA, you can call 1-877-473-6767 prompt #2 to get technical support on NGK spark plugs -- odds are they have something similar in their European division.
