So, not too long ago my bike has started to develop some problems after running perfectly for around 2k kilometers. I've recently noticed that after a few minutes of riding and when stopped at a red light or just idling my bike shuts off, which wasn't a big deal, but that was just the first of...

I'll try to be as practical as possible. The issue: bike takes 20 seconds of cranking until it starts, every morning. When idling in low temperatures, opening the throttle makes the RPM fluctuate, jumping between 1000 to 3000 without moving the throttle in the best case. Worst case it just...
