With regards the starting, i'll have a look at the choke. Gets used almost every day at the mo and once she's running there's not a bother on her. Might put the tank risers on? Would that ease back the richness a bit?
I doubt it...I think it just makes more noise. Check the air filter is clean, maybe put a new one in if you havnt done so for ages. My choke was making my bike run rich...after spannerman sorted that and did my carbs, my bike starts easily on half choke most mornings

Just changed my plugs for iridium ones and unstuck the choke plungers and it runs fine now. Plugs i took out were a bit rusty though!
