Hi

My son's DR650 normally starts fine, even in the morning.
But twice now, in the early evening, it started, ran for a few seconds and died.
then it would not start. Battery is still good, it turns the engine quite a while before starting to go flat.
I then jump it off my car and after many turns has a few false starts and eventually runs fine.

happened last week and again today.
bike has been ridden in between without problems.

We're going on a week trip next week, so it's a conbcern.

What do I look at.
water in fuel? but would that not give problems while riding anyway?

Please help
