Sound to me like your flooding the plugs. I had the same problem. Try taking the air box off one cold sat morning when you dont have work and see if she starts then with more air in the fuel mix.

Plugs

Are they clean but wet? or clean and dry? Are they a new set?

Haha look at this thread.

"Hey, my NES games won't start when I plug them in, the screen just blinks and the power light flashes. What do I do?"

Anyway, try turning your idle **** up when starting.

Is the bike in a garage or outside at night? Could you have moisture that evaporates during the day or when it is warm?
Let us know when you find the problem.
