Could be also that the CDI module (ignition device, under the seat) works badly at low revs and high temperature, so that starting becomes difficult. And given it's hig amps feeding (7 to 8 amps), and poor natural cooling, it gets quite hot. Leaving the bike a few minutes allows it to cool and, even with the engine still hot, everything goes well again for starting. My 0.02%.
