Take the plug out and make sure the gap is okay.
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

What spark plugs are they? Even if they are new one could be duff. So try another plug anyway.

The thing is it's a Japanese so why not use the Japanese plugs it was built with. Honestly, NGK BPR6E is what you want.

Bosch Super Plus and Bosch Super 4 spark plugs are over-priced guff.

Bosh plugs are crap if we buy a motor and it has bosch plugs and leads in it the first thing we do is change them to ngk.
