Just dounds like it needs warming up properly. Wait for a scortching hot day see if it still struggles.

Try running it for a minute or 2 with the choke out (i assume it has one)

Even on hot days it does it, but about 5 mins on the road its fine

Then it may be the carbs idle jet needs a tweek to work better at low temperatures, aswell as high ones.

I'm afraid i have no idea how to do this, well, i could do it, doing it right, so it works is another matter.

Im just gonna go get it serviced, guy over the phone said he check it over, and do the usual servicing for £50, I just need it in sellable form

Ok. If you tell me what bike it is i can find out what settings for the carb jets.
