may problem.....often replace spark plugs (sparkplug quickly die)......please help me....what happen
 
Is this something that just started? When you say sparkplugs die do you mean they foul, become black and sooty?

Wondering the same thing. Have you made any changes in the motor? Is the electrode burning? A little more info and maybe a picture of the plugs would help.
 
There are so many possibilities. OEM plug wires have carbon based cores and eventually break down, carb. diaphragms tear or get stiff and can cause rich conditions, rings and compression can be worn. Tell us as much as you can about the bike, the history that you know, and if the problem happened gradually or quickly. Don't worry about writing a long post, there's good troubleshooters on this site, and detailed information is their ammo.
 
Welcome to The Forum, More info will be a big plus, How old are your wires, do you have a coil cover, some times the wires will short out on the cover, is your carb set correctly
