Hello and welcome!
I don't know what the problem is but you should not be able to smell unburnt gas so I think you are on the right track with a fuel problem of some kind.

Maybe the fuel filter is restricted. or the fuel pump losing it's prime.

Hows it going guys..

Just after some advice please..
Ive been riding my bike into work for couple weeks now and its started to take longer to fully turn over as in start..
Now before this started to happen it use to just fire after a few cranks,now its cranking but not firing,then i have to killswitch and then crank it again..i have to repeat this about 3 to 4 times and then it finally fires and then its running like normal...?once its started shes going like a dream.. now i suspect that it maybe the fuel pump or injectors as i can smell fuel after cranking but no fire..?
when i hit the killswitch and then switch it on again the fuel pump does sound abit sketchy and didnt sound smooth like it use to before...i dont want to start buying new parts unless im sure of the issue.. Any thoughts?

Before this all started to happen about 2500kms ago i serviced my bike as in oil,oil filter,air filter, 6 new spark plugs and also had the battery on charger which indicates fully charged.i checked the fuses at this time and they wer ok,i havnt checked them recently tho?.i have jus recently checked the battery again and its still indicating full so my suspicion is a fuel issue? Whats your thoughts guys any help would be greatly appreciated cheers..
