I have also found that even though you may have shut off your fuel petcock, fuel over time creeps by and causes the bowls to become over filled with fuel. This will cause a hard start or even no start condition. After the bike has sat for a while, cold or heated, I find that draining the bowls just prior to starting makes a huge difference. Drain them with the fuel shut off, open the petcock, give the fuel a minute to refill the carbs and try it. Even if you drained your carbs in the fall you may find fuel in them because of the fuel weeping by the valve over time.
