Q.1. recommended spark plugs for khyber g-10 on CNG

Q.3. Recommended tappet setting Hot/cold?
Q.4. Running was on petrol with Caltex Havoline formula and now i have switched to CNG with Shell helix HX7 10-40W (synthetic) , is shell HX7 ok?

What else should i do or check to get max output and efficiency from my g-10?

Ans 1. Suzuki recommended NGK BP6ES. My recommendation Bosch Super 4 FR78X.
Ans 2. Suzuki recommended 0.7-0.8 mm. My recommendation (w/ FR78X) don't set factory preset gap. Just take plug out from packing and install.
Ans 3. Sorry don't know about this.
Ans 4. All oils are OK, but Shell HX7 is not the best. Caltex havoline formula is far better than Shell HX7. You'd also like to look into petromin oils which a senior pakwheeler is marketing. Or just go for ZIC A or A+. Or keep using Caltex havoline formula. All 4 are far better than Shell.

Else: Change coil to Denso GT coil. Use LePpon or VIC oil filters.

Moving to this spark plug and coil will mainly help reduce fuel consumption. For more information about Bosch FR78X
