When you pull the dead plug, what does the coil look like? Is it completely intact? Is it mashed up in the hole?

If it not cuased by a lean run, or multiple high speed long distance runs, I would pull the head button and rear plate to see if something is going wrong inside the engine. Any metal that is wearing off inside the engine can build up on the plug causing its quick death.
