If it has not been serviced for a while check the valve clearances. If these are out a lot it will cause problems. You can also check if it's a voltage drop by jumping it with a big car battery.

Mine starts by cranking with throttle open a little bit then closing while still cranking. It doesn't start easy but does always start. But ... I hear every one of these bikes is individual in its starting technique.
