My 250hp bike fouls up plugs pretty quickly, so I have resorted to cleaning them more often. I do this with a propane gas torch.
Just thought I would share

Reminds me of my Laverda MontJuic. It was a pure race engined Formula 500 bike that somehow sneaked past he UK homologation reg's.

If left for more than a week unused - the ONLY way to get the blighter to fire was heat the plugs on my mums gas stove and put them in hot. I became rather adept at tank removal.

There was a specific pre-riding ritual required.

Probably too much fuel at low revs and not enough punishment
Thanks I haven't noticed that on mine but since she runs like a timex watch I have to admit I don't check them much. Anyway always good to learn something as long as its not alternative sex stuff
I'll stick with women:)
