Below the battery panel is a frame panel, remove this and you'll be presented with the reg/rec... A good idea is to see if its earthed to the frame as this can cause problems ifs its broken or loose.

Kick stand switch may be the problem, if the kick stand is down and clutch out it wont start, sometime this switch will play up and it can be bypassed.

is fuel getting to the plugs ? should be wet after several tries to start ! ? if not then clean the carb !

check the spark plugs are ok and the plug caps resistance are in tolerance as they are resister caps and if they are failing they reduce thd spark power ! i had this on a kawasaki 900 once ! also how old is the fuel as after 5mths its no good as it goes off ! carbs could be dirty also another area to look at ! clean connections on coil wires ?

Did you try 2 new sparkplugs?

yes. if you know it the regulator,replace it==ride on

Definite misfire. Does not sound fuel related. Check for bad plugs or wires. Ignition module and crank sensor.
