Probably a blocked air filter.

Get the filter out and check for obvious blockages to the intake. If it hasn't been replaced for a while then it's worth just doing that. If it's a K&N then give it a proper clean.

on the way home it fired straight away.

think it was due to me running heated grips on full power (57w) along with headlights

I run my grips on full power with headlights though and it doesn't cause a problem, that should be OK.

If the engine wasn't turning over as quick as it should of then perhaps you are in need of a new battery and the grips etc are just not helping matters?

Ah well, as long as it runs OK then not a blocked filter I s'pose
