I've been trying to avoid asking again but i'm genuinely stumped now.
Bike seemed to be starting okay over the last few weeks, used a bit of choke in the cold and it was pinging to life so i could let it warm up for a while.
NOW IT'S NOT
For at least a week or more now the bike just doesn't wanna know about starting until a good minute after trying.
With choke, without choke, no throttle, half throttle, full throttle.....
The new battery has been great, so there's not been any issue of power, when cranking over the battery has not tried to die down or anything and has produced a solid source of volts.
Then, after going through all of this rigmarole, morning and evening, the bike will either just ping to life, or as happening tonight again it will make my exhaust look like a rocket launcher, make an almighty bang when backfiring, then ping to life.
It has been suggested to me to try starting with the stand up in the morning, as although i bypassed the faulty side stand switch it does resemble the issues before i figured out what it was.
Other than that, i'm at a bit of a loose end?
As soon as the bike is started it literally runs perfect in every way, with no missing, hesitation, spluttering, etc.
Any ideas welcomed please?
