Before you start messing with jets and needles what 2t oil ratio are you using.Had a similar problem and the exhaust was full of oil,hence the need to give it a scream every ride.if you've been pottering in the
garden might be the case.
I have a 3 year old ktm 250 six days and that still has the same plug fitted from new.
Pull the front pipe only takes 2 min and let us know if its full of oil,also a bit poor that you cannot service the silencers properly
