i have an 06 v2 and had the same issue. didnt want to start while cranking but would start off the pull start on first try. it may not same like it because it seems to crank over easy, but your battery is part of your problem. just replaced my battery this week and it made a huge difference. i put the old battery in an old suzuki road bike (300cc) and it wouldnt even begin to turn the bike over but was turning over the v2.
next thing to check is the choke, make sure it is working as it should. these chokes are known for sticking and the cables or the thumb lever breaking. oil your cable well annaully.
i had a broken thumb lever and didnt know it, felt like it was working,
check your valve adjustment. this can cause hard starting if your v2 has any sort of mileage on it,
my ac starts so much better now than it did when i purchased it. i still have to let it idle for a few minutes before riding in really cold weather but at least now i know it will start when i go out to play. good luck.
