The first thing I’d do is replace that plug and take it for a test ride. . It sounds to me like its starting to foul. The general appearance of the plug isn't a good indicator if its carbon fouling so when ever you have ignition problems its the first thing you should replace.

If changing the plug doesn’t fix you up check and insure your ground is clean and not corroded and that your kill switch is clean inside and operating properly.

Normally if the reeds go bad you’ll have difficulty starting the bike as well.

If these don’t fix your problem get back to us and we’ll dig deeper.

Put in a new plug and you should be fine, IMO. The lots of low end use probably shortened the lifespan of that plug, and you can't always tell by looking.
