Starts on one cylinder
When my bike is cold it starts very quickly but seems to start on one cylinder. It takes 5-10 second before it sounds like the second cylinder kicks in and the RPM's jump. Is this normal? I start it with full choke and the bike starts within about a second of pushing the button.

Mine does that once in a while, usually if it sat a few days or the weather is really cool.
Think it just takes a bit to get the fuel going.

Yes somewhat normal, as long as its only 5-10 seconds before it kicks in.
SeaFoam helps as does iridium plugs. On inline fours I know synching the carbs helps - not too sure about V twins, but worth a look.

Mine does it when it is cold and I have trried every thing to stop it but no matter what I do short of running the rear cylinder extremely rich but that causes problems after she warms up so I just live with it
i got my helmet but it sure makes licking the windows a chore

It might have something to do with ethanol, you think?

I used to have the same problem with my bike. I fixed it by doing the pickup coil mod, and the ignition coil relay mod. now my bike starts and runs on both cylinders 100% of the time.
