What is the history of the air filter, have you changed it yourself yet, or do you know when it might have been last changed?
If you're not sure and it was previously changed for a poor quality one there is always the small chance that it's totally clogged up!
I bought a poor quality air filter many years ago that made the bike run terrible, like it was being choked, and that was from new condition. I changed it after a few days for a K&N and the difference was like night and day.
So if you haven't tried it already, i would remove it then give it another try at starting the bike while it's out, plus also check the air filter box just in case it's clogged up with any emulsified oil, which will look like liquid honeycomb.
