Bit confused here, there is enough juice to crank the engine over, sometimes it starts sometimes it does not? is that right. When it fails to start are you then putting the battery on charge?
My gen 2 is probably going to need a new battery soon as it needs charging if I do not use the bike for a couple of weeks. There is not enough juice to turn the engine over.
From what I am picking up on your post there is still enough juice to crank over the engine , is it turning over at the correct speed or is it labouring to turn over? If it is labouring okay may be a battery issue but if not I think you have a problem elsewhere. I am no great shakes at motorcycle maintainence but sounds to me as if you could have a fuelling issue or a breakdown to the spark plug leads. Looking at your air filter , oh boy now that is filthy.
