When was the last time the oil was changed? What sort of temperature are we talking outside? Did this only recently start happening? If so, did you perform any maintenance on the bike prior to this issue? You've checked for issues such as fuel buildup where it's not supposed to be, water in the manifold, that sort of thing? You say this is happening specifically after the bike has been sat unused for a while. I'd say that narrows it down a fair bit. I'd say the good money is on it being something that's likely to be happening over time while the bike is sat that would make it hard to start, since you're saying it runs fine the rest of the time.
March 24, 201213 yr i think you may have a banana stuck in the exhaust pipe Hahaha! I nearly spat my cig out when I read this.
March 25, 201213 yr put no more than a teaspoon of oil in the spark plug hole, crank the engine over 4 or 5 times (without ht lead but with spark plug in) then pop the ht lead back on the spark plug and try to start. if it starts 1st time then u know its the piston rings. if not then start looking for other causes......is the petrol on?....is it set to prime with 1/2 choke?
