Talking 1098 starting issues

Just after some advice from fellow 1098 owners on whether their machine fires on the button?

My bike seems to struggle to start. If i hit the ignition button it will turn over and over then occasionally start but more often than not will turn over and not fire but fire on the second push of the ignition button straight away.

Over the last few days it's now requiring 4 presses of the ignition button and it pops, starts and stalls. Plus the battery appears to be getting weaker and weaker. Is it just the battery or possibly the sparks? Or something worse? It doesn't help that my oximiser packed in a few weeks back.

The dealership claims its normal for the bike to struggle.

Any advise / experience would be appreciated. Best bike I've ever had! Can't help but grin when riding it..... When it lets me!
