Could be a few things. Sudden hard starts are often tight valve clearances - the weather changes, and the engine just doesn't want to play anymore.

The sudden stall going into first could be the sidestand switch - disconnect it and jumper the connector on the bike harness to test this.

Another possibility for both problems might be a clutch that's slipped out of adjustment.
