check your batery voltage while cranking +12? Batteries get weaker when cold. Lead acid more so."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you when I called you stupid. I thought you already knew..."

You have a weak power source to the coils... cold starts will always be difficult for your bike unless fixed.

Use a volt meter to verify voltage at the coils (orange wires with white stripes) are putting out minimal of 11v+ to the coils when the starter is turning the engine over.
If not, then the fix is to back trace the wiring harness and find where the power loss is happening at and fix. This could be cleaning connections, fixing damage, or in extream cases replacing wires that are burnt or damaged.
In extream situations you can check out the "relay mod". This bypasses any harness issues and runs power to the coils directly from the battery.
