Default R15 spark plug problem

Hi, I bought an R15 3 months ago and have done 1100kms without any problem but today my bike suddenly stalled when I was riding. I could start the engine with the self start but as soon as I gave even a little throttle, the engine was stalling. There was a local mechanic nearby so he came and fixed the problem. He said that there was a leak in the spark plug adapter and i think he fixed it by connecting two ends of the spark plug with a red wire. I want to know why exactly this happened and how to prevent it in the future. Should I take it to the yamaha service center? The mechanic said that water might have been the problem but I haven't washed my bike in a week and it hasn't rained either.

Change the spark plug Terminal, it might have gone bad.

I also had a similar problem.

It started once I had to keep my bike idle for about two months. I was not able to ride my bike in low RPM. I gave to SVC and they changed the adapter. It was fine for one month. After that one day, bike wasn't starting at all. Again i gave to the same SVC, they again changed the adapter and it was fine. Same thing happened one more time.

Last week, my bike stoped again while i was riding. It was not at all starting. When I tried to start after few hours it started and I didn't have any problems after that till now.

Could you guys tell me what my be the reason why I am facing the issue..

Thanks in advance.
