Default Possible starting problem creeping in?

When I went to start it this morning and yesterday the engine turned over for longer than normal. Normally it fires up straight away but for the past two days it turned over for 5 seconds or so before firing up, any suggestions?

Choke was in same place, spark plugs have recently been changed. It was turning over quite fast so battery should be OK.

Thanks

Slightly warmer weather = bit less choke needed.

Maybe.

Give that a go first. If your bike isn't as easy to start but otherwise seems to run OK, first thing is check plugs.
