How are you checking the plug? It should be under max load, so get the motor warmed up and to max load which is usually flat out and pulling against a slight hill for a few 100 metres and kill the motor, come to a halt and check the plug.

For a true reading get engine hot, swap a new correct rated plug in, start engine, straight away accelerate flat out up until 6th and ring it right to redline then kill the engine and coast to a stop. Pull the plug out and either turn the threads off the plug in a lathe or hacksaw the outer threads off to see the insulator insides colour.
