Let us know how it goes.
Here's another thought to follow. Battery!!! Here's why, When you first start the bike in the morning, oil is cool, gas vapors are out of the intake and it take's a little more amps to crank the bike. Usually the battery voltage drops a tiny bit, lets say to 10 or 11 volts or so. Well, it's a CDI bike. Until you get the battery back up to voltage it will be a little bit "cranky".
I had a very old Jeep that did the same thing unitl I upgraded the charging system. I had thought it was the carb and had rebuilf it twice.
So, here's an easy experiment, this weekend, jump start the bike with another battery or from a car. Then go for a quick ride to see if it is still "cranky". If it is, then it's not the battery voltage. If it is NOT..., then clean all the clean-able wiring connection on the charging system. Check the water level in battery too.
Always try the easy things first!!!
