After I go for a short ride (say to the grocery or the gas station) and let the bike sit for ~5-25 minutes I often have trouble starting the bike. I can hear the starter working but the bike doesn't actually turn over.
BUT If I wait an hour, it starts. Today I didn't think it would start and I called roadside assistance, but as soon as the tow truck showed up (45 minutes later) it started!!! This has happened several times and the bike runs fine otherwise. I don't think I'm flooding it because I turn off the gas when I let it sit and I don't use choke to start it when it is warm. I'm thinking it is probably a fuel or an ignition problem but I am not sure where to start, especially since this problem is difficult to replicate. Also, I am a novice motorcycle mechanic. Has this happened to anyone else? Any ideas???
