Quadzilla starting issue

[Gary Patch]

Hi I have a 2008 quadzilla 320e ,engine is sound but takes a lot of starting when left a day or so turns over well misfires ,change plug and starts straight up and will run fine and restart at the touch of the button anyone point me in right direction where to look  thanks

When you pull the plug is it black and oil fouled?

Wondering maybe two or three things;  if there is oil getting into cylinder head maybe fouling up the plug and after a bit of cranking it fires when the gas finally clears out the oil in the head? 

Second thing is if it’s a carbureted bike maybe the bowl on the carburetor is dry and has to re fill  every time it’s been sitting ? Maybe due to a leak? Smell any gas ?

if it’s an injected bike then maybe something is air bound in the fuel lines and has to crank until fuel reaches the head ? 

Those  would be my guesses.
