The figure 7 represents the heat range of the plug. Usually it is unwise to deviate from specifications unless problems force choosing a different heat range. If the spark plug regularly fouls then a hotter spark plug could improve the problem - with NGK that would mean moving from 5 to 4.

Any move must be made with care to avoid the engine damage possible if the spark plug is too hot.

Hot and cold plugs, incidentally, indicate the amount of heat the spark plug dissipates from the centre to the body and doesn't affect the temperature of the engine. Broadly cool running engines need hot spark plugs and hot running engines need cold plugs so in each case the spark plug nose will achieve the self-cleaning temperature without becoming too heated.

Moving from a 5 heat range to a 7 (NGK) is moving to a colder plug so yes it will run fine, at least for a while, though you could find plug fouling might be a problem...

2015 Polaris 900 won't start. Was starting with fast idle, rough running with backfires, now won't start at all. Was running perfect.

fast idle start usually indicates an air leak somewhere.check carburettor bolts are tight and engine head bolts are tight.try that first

Polaris trouble codes

The Machine is new, do you have a warranty? Has the machine been sitting for a while? If so, a professional carb/fuel system cleaning and a new spark plug should take care of it.

I WOULD take it o the dealer and find out what the code means!!

2005 Polaris Ranger shuts down when hot

Could be the coil pack going bad or fuel pump. Find the coil pack and spray water on the outside of it. Not a lot just a stream to keep it cool. It should be on top. Here is a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woE4OIhCvAs

My polaris ranger xp 700 2009 has been reasonably good to me till now. it has a hesitation in the motor and it variys to the amount it does it. it can be good for a few minutes or can be hard starting rite...

Yea.. a couple years on spark plugs is great... REPLACE them.. this could be a number of things.. this type of issue is hard to diagnose online.. I would get the carbs cleaned and set by a competent professional. Its probably time to replace the air filter..they ARE the life of your engine.. Do these items, replay with a post to me.
