Between my brothers bike and mine, his has always fired right up, mine has taken a little more time. Even twice at the beginning, as you described.
With miles, mine's getting better. Fires on the first push but still takes a few turns.

As Ron B says, check your fuse connection and also, check your battery terminals for "clean and tight". I read that stalling could be caused by that on these, as well.
