The bike is pretty much on the road every day as I use it to do a 60mile round trip commute, the only thing that makes me take it off the road is snow, the slow starting has been going for sometime now.
I am thinking it might be the battery after the comments as I have had the bike since 2008 with only 9K on the clocks and I know I have had a couple of times where the battery has gone dead so as far as I am concerned it is still on its original battery.
Oh and I use pro FST in my fuel to clean the carbs out once or twice a year and never had a problem with it.
If it's the original battery it's a miracle that it's lasted this long! I'd replace it. Most likely it'll sort you're problem.
