F4 killing plugs daily

got an f4 was a streetfighter .

put new plugs runs ok but if you sneeze wrong before it warms up your done. I start it with no choke and runs fine when it wants to but iv had to put new plugs in it like 4 times this month and thats pretty much every time iv ridden it. last night i cleaned them rode down the street on 3 cyl and cracked it open on the interstate cleared up ran fine got off went threw town fine stop at wally world came out crappy again . its always 1 plug and its a different cly pretty much every time. my old kawi did it somtimes in the cold/rainy weather when i put a pipe on it till i got it jetted could this be it ? i got a dnd slipon on my f4 to but i want a stock pipe anyways . i hate old bikes

rebuilding carbs easy. sounds way more difficult but its like 10 parts per carb if that.. just clean one at a time.
