Here is a maybe, based on my having had problems just like this.
There is a solenoid/switch that screws into the engine block that senses the temperature of the engine/coolant and adjusts the timing through the computer to enrich the fuel mixture ( an electronic "choke").
If and when this sensor goes bad, you will get rough running when cold, as the sensor is not telling the computer the proper engine temperature.
I have had to replace 3 of these on the cars I service in the last 6 years.
God bless your efforts.

A bad plug wire could cause this. Open the hood at night and look to see if any plug wires are shorting. Spray a mist of water on them. May need to put in on a scope to see a bad wire or test with an ohm meter.

I have a 2007 gsxr 1000. When i start it up and its cold it runs fineas soon as it heats up to temp it starts sputtering and loses power and it dosent idle very well like its missing bad pls help thx

Plugs leads or coils breaking down when warm. Or it could be tight valves when the motor warms everything expands abe if there is not enough clearance in the valves they don't close fully and allow combustion pressure to leak out. To test this do a compression test when hot and cold and compare.

while motors warm up the computer supplies information so the motor works well. After it warms up the computer is guided by sensor information. It sounds like a sensor is going bad. Try to get a scanner reading which might show which sensor. The two main imputs to fuel are oxygen sensor and temperature sensor. Real common for O2 sensor to go bad.

We think it is the diesel injection pump but not sure

Sounds like not all the glow plugs are working.It should run fairly smooth on a cold start if all of the glow plugs are working..Also you shouldn't drive off on a cold start with a diesel,Its really hard on the motors..At least give them 10 to 15 min on a cold start..The oil in them is a really thick oil and when there drove on a cold start theres no oil lubricating the internal parts and will cause the motor to seize up..You may already no this and dont mean you drive it as soon as you start it i just wanted to let you know..When you get alot of white smoke it could be two things,Theres water in the fuel which will make it not have much power die and smoke..But if it runs fine when its warm theres some bad glow plugs...Hope this helps you and have a great day
