As extra background info I didn't ride much November to Feb and had 10-12 weeks between rides during that time and it has been reluctant to start, I put it down to the bike telling me off for not riding :lol
So much so that after a few attempts the battery sounded like it was getting sluggish so I put it back on the trickle charge for 30 mins - try again and it starts almost straight away. But I have noticed when I stop for fuel it has been taking a few go's to get it started, although it seems strong enough turn over from a battery point of view.
Maybe I need some new spark plugs as the last time I changed them was Jan 2012 but average 1,000 miles per year =12,00 miles to now but will need to check MOT for exact mileage.
This was the last time I had staring issues in 2012 https://foc-u.co.uk/index.php?topic=2606...#msg312220
