Hey, I have picked up a z125 pro 2016 model.

When the bike has been sitting for a while it takes a really long time to start. I am wondering if that's normal? IT can take like 10-20 seconds of holding the ingition for it to start.

After its warm it starts 1st time every time its just when cold... Wondering if its related to the bike not been used for a long stint? Or if there is some service work I could do myself or a mechanic to reduce the issue?

Very common issue. couple of threads here on it. Holding it cranking for long time doesn't work well. Try three - 4sec long cranks and most will start on the 3rd crank over.

Have side stand in the UP position helps when its really cold or the switch starts getting dirty
