Default starting problem

When i go to start my bike it cranks for id say about 30 sec maybe longer before it fires. When the bike is warm it still cranks longer than usual but not as long as when its cold. Any ideas? I changed the plugs begining of the season. Thanks

So you have to hold the starter button down for 30 seconds before it fires? I'm surprised your battery can sustain that... Anyway, I've heard of a fuel pressure regulator causing long cranks like that

A constant 30 second crank can't be good on the starter motor either.
Have you check gas lines for kinks or misrouting.
Definitely sound gas related. Not sure any other engine component would cause such as issue.

I agree it sounds fuel related, do you have a copy of the service manual? If not, search on the forums here.

This is a screen shot of the manual. Things you need to look at to figure out your problem:
