I agree with Graham, that sounds more like a classical problem with the starter motor. When hot loose power. Usually a simple rebuild will fix the problem. My general advise to any owner of a cb700 is to be particularly careful with the starting system, because if the starter clutch goes bad, it becomes a very serious issue. It's located at the bottom of the engine, and replacement requires a complete tear-down.
