Starting problem when hot

Hi guys,
I face a problem with my xtx...
When it is cold it starts OK with no problems..
But when it is hot, if I stop the engine and I try to start again the bike doKOn't start as cold... it takes about 5 or 6 seconds continuing pressing start button...
Any ideas???
Sorry for my English..

Could be a lot of things, but start with the easy things to check.

Is your air filter clean? Is the intake restricted in anyway? A dirty or clogged filter will cause warm starting issues.

Does it smell of fuel when it won't start hot? Take the spark plug out and have a look for a 'wet' appearance straight after a failed attempt at starting. How good/new is your spark plug?

When did it start doing this? Can you think of anything you changed, modified or did differently at the time?

After checking what Pleiades tell you, check your ignition coil.

Got the same problem. When cold it starts as it should be. Sometimes starting warm it tales a couple of seconds.
