Fouled plugs are typically caused by jetting that is too rich. This could also be from a dirty air filter which can make the bike run rich. Clean up your filter and see if that is it. If the filter is not too bad, you might want to drop a size on your pilot or main.
Another possibility is poor compression - this can make a 2-stroke run richer than normal as the fuel can not be burned properly. Rings don't last long in these 125s. I used to re-ring each week when I was racing 125s.
You might want to run a B8ES plug, too - this is one step hotter and will help the plug from fouling as often.
NGK BR9EG is the stock plug for your bike. You are one heat range hotter already. I suggest you go to a BR8EG to keep you in the racing plug style but one range hotter than stock. I question what 2 stroke engine oil you are using. Stick with Yamalube 2 stroke oil and you should be okay. If you are using standard motor oil like you have in the gearbox then the fouling is definitely the oil.
Black spark plug means too rich , you will have to replace the spark plug since it has foul up and reset the air mixture screw on the carburator 2 and 1/2 turns outwards.
Check the air filter too.
Hope this helps.
