    What year is the bike?
    What pipe is on it?
    Are the cooling shrouds fitted to the engine?

    It sounds to me like the main jet is too large, and its fouling the plug.

    Yeah, I know it's air cooled, but does the cylinder have the cooling shrouds on it?
    The black plastic thing that goes over the barrel and head........It allows the air from the flywheel fan to circulate around the barrel to help with cooling it
