He's fouling the plug because he doesn't know how to ride it. He's bogging the engine by keeping it at low rpm and in high gear, lugging it, which doesn't allow the unburned hydrocarbons to evacuate the cylinder, resulting in carbon build-up.
Or, his carb could be running rich, but I doubt it unless you changed your elevation from where you bought it at.

What condition is the plug in when he removes it?
The colour of the plug electrodes can tell you a lot about how the engine is behaving.
I don't know the bike but if it's a 2 stroke then the plug might be getting oiled up. In which case try turning the fuel switch off when it's not in use.

Something is fouling the plugs. From your information it's impossible to say what but both the kid from Mask and the guy who mentioned bad rings are on the right track. Only 2 things foul plugs; too much unburned gas or oil getting in the combustion chamber.

The piston rings or the valve seals could be worn out,allowing excessive oil into the combustion chamber and fouling the plug..A tell tale sign is lots of blue smoke.
Unless it's a two stroke engine that is.....

Is he using the correct type of plug? Japanese bikes only run properly on NGKs.Make sure it's the correct plug for the bike and make sure it's an NGK.

depends on colour of plug when it's removed
black mixture too rich or choke stuck
grey to white mixture too weak
wrong grade of plug, wrong type of plug, long or short reach.
