is it something so simple as you are leaving the fuel on and its got a slight leak so its flooding slightly?
Too many bikes, so little time!

I say plugs, if the gaps are wrong they'll expand too far apart when hot which will give a slightly weaker spark.
I had the same problem on my old NC29.

Hmmm. Plugs.

I've got a similar problem, the plugs are brand new tho, and they are original parts from a honda dealership...

....I think. I had a guy do it, and now im wondering.

A couple of easy questions for you ...
Has anything been changed at all since last season with the bike ?
Has anything altered about where you keep the bike during the night ?
When did you last adjust the valves ?
How old is you battery ?

Answer these and i will look in to see what you reply to you.

Cheers
Kiwi.

As mentioned in the other post by ich I cant remember now but I think it was either carb or carb rubber related as I remember mucking on with them at this time. I do know it was not the fuel pump. Its odd for me not to leave a final post on what the outcome was but it appears I did not do it this time.
