If you're plugs are fouling it probably has nothing to do with the fuel stabalizer, or lack there of. That stuff is to prevent your gas tank from rusting, and the gas from breaking down, so it shouldn't cause problems with your plugs, especially since you've had the same problem in the past without it.

It could be a problem with your carburetor.
If you're running rich you'll foul up your plugs pretty quickly, and if you're running lean you could be burning them out very quickly.

If replacing the plugs works and the caruretor is working properly, then it's probably just a problem with moisture in your cylinders fouling up your plugs over the winter.

Next year, to winterize your bike just do the following
1) remove battery
2) fill tank right up and add fuel stabalizer
3) remove spark plugs
4) give the cylinders a little mist of oil periodiclally to keep moisture from condensing and causing damage to the cylinders.
