    Hi all, thanks for the replies. Here is the extra info

    Had the bike 4 year, it’s an 11 plate.
    It is a new problem, had super unleaded in over the winter but it was fine before that. I have attached a pic of the bike now.

    Thanks in advance

    1) is cranking speed the same as always? (Battery ok)
    If yes
    2) need to check for good spark on initial cold start procedure
    If yes
    3) fuel pressure needs to be checked (if ok)
    4) engine coolant temperature sensor voltages need to be checked (this controls fuel injection choke)

    Might just need a good run to flush every thing through. Check all the usual bits like side stand clutch switch and make sure damp hasn't got into the electrics. Cracking Machine by the way.
