Even with the carb heaters working, icing does still occur when using cheap fuel. Another reason to use the premium stuff.

Fairly classic symptoms of sticking choke plunger.

Ok, i'm not very good with wiring so it's not the sort of thing i'd want to risk, knowing my luck I'd break something ^^ i'll see if riding it for a while warms up the whole area up and see of that makes a difference. I'll also try checking my fuel lines, pump, spark plugs and all that stuff.
Thanks

Choke plungers should be a regular service item to prevent trouble.

I don't know if there's water in the plug hole, i haven't had the time to check today, i'll be doing it tomorrow. There shouldn't be water in the fuel though. I filled the tank from almost empty a couple of days ago and i'm very careful about not letting water get into the tank

Almost empty tanks in winter invite condensation from humid air and temperature changes. Better to let it sit fully fueled.

It was only sitting overnight with about 4L in.

I rode it today and it felt absolutely fine which is good. It's confusing because it happened all of a sudden and it went just as quickly... As long as it's running alright I'm happy though! Thanks for your input, everyone! I love how helpful everyone is here!
