Hard to start cold.

Lately when starting for the first time over night the engine just cranks and cranks ans cranks and..............Zero pop, choke no help.

If it even warm it instantly fires up.

Choke set correctly? I live in Canada and it requires a light touch to set it correctly. How long has your bike been sitting and where? Have you tried Stabil or even better Seafoam??

Yep, good possibility.Dirty plugs, or too much gap will do that.

Thanks, I think I have some bad gas.

If you see my post "Reserve fuel question" under "General VMax Questions" these problems started at the same time.
