i got a kx 125 and i am running a rgk platinum plug in it. its the right plug and everything but this is the second one i fouled. the first one i fouled becuz of the wrong oil:gas mix. i fixed that and everything is right. someone told me not to rev it high or a lot when i first start it. is that true? or is it something else? please help!

yeah, you shouldnt rev it more than 1/4 throttle for the first minute when you're warming it u

You should change your jetting. And if that doesnt fix it you should play with your kill swich. One of my old bikes kept fowling plugs because the killswitch was rubbin on the bars and shortining out the plug.

it could be it is a kawi! try a suzuki mine runs fine and never goes through plugs.lol you can rev it up when you are warming it up but just blip it open real quick dont hold it wide open or anything but you need to clean it out a couple times while you are warming it up unless you have the slow jet kinda lean maybe you need to lean out the slow jet. when it is fouling plugs ? also i had a 250 that was fouling plugs because the base gasket was bad when was the last time you did a top end ? i use a ngk br8es in my 125
