Try retarding the timing at idle first? (that is if you have a Powercommander)

Get a second gel cell and put it in the tail. Use a smaller golf cart type batt, and wire it for a 24v starter. You will love it!!!

I have done everything I can think of to cure hard starting of my 1427 while keeping a single battery. I don't have hard starting now, but next time i will take ra's path and simply go 24v on the starter circuit.

BTW: "everything" includes hanging a 15# gelcell in front of the R wheel, between the swingarms (10" ext).
