   I am having trouble with my bike starting in cold weather. It wont even roll start in the cold.
   I thought it could be the battery but it starts first time in the middle of the day even after not being ridden for 2 weeks.
   How do i pinpoint what the problem is?

   Yup. Choke still works. It just seems to be when the bike is exposed to cold weather.
   I have had thoughts of it being the alt (generator) but have no way to test it.
   Does it sound like a common problem?

   I doubt it would be the alt because you would have a flat battery if that was faulty. Do you know it's service history, what sort of air filter it's got etc? maybe needs a mixture screw adjustment. Never had a problem like that with mine.
