Bill , if you like a can put a series of pics together to help you understand the starter motor gear train down to the crankshaft incl pics of the 03 and up system.
Battery is still the main issue unless your starter is not as good as could be and is cranking the motor slowly.... as you are now aware the 32bit ECU on 02 and up adds a little more ignition advance in the starting map than previous models which doesnt help if all else isnt spot on. I have a 02 model and have never had any probs with the starting or backfiring / cough, except when the battery was run down
Suggest try starting the bike with the jumper leads onto a car battery and see if there is any "marked" improvement in the rate at which it spins the motor.
Starting becomes an issue when the motor is hot mainly. <i></i>
