is it a 500cc Caps ?
i can relate to this as my 500 is same when cold, i use start ya bastard on cold mornings ( think Ravo in middle of winter) and it works a treat. no problem when its warm, just needs an extra charge when cold.

fuel spark and compression so one is down. About 96 RM range needed expensive Meridian type plug, check with your agent. Float level?
