Ive had that problem before when i was working on my friends bike. i think it needs some help getting some fuel round the system. i agree with ADAM on this one and it does work a treat :D. if it still doesnt start try using fresh petrol because petrol does go flat.
you may also have wet or bridged (blocked/dirty) spark plug too. try taking it out and looking for dirt build up and give it a clean. if it still wont start, try buying a new one from halfords, take the old one with you to mae sure you get the right heat range. i think they cost about £4 and its also is handy to have a new one aswel. if it still dont start, dont give up just keep kickstarting it. it will start eventualy. goodluck i hope this helps.

try covering the hole in the air filter with a rag soaked in petrol or just block the hole off while you turn the engine over whatever you do DO NOT open the throttle up while you are turning it over as this just gives it more air and it wants fuel not air ok good luck adam
