Once my bike gets up and running (warm) anytime I turn it off and try to start it again it takes at least 5 minutes before it will fire up again...I sure wish there was an easier way to get this sucker started once it is warm...my 2006 YZ250F has the hot start and it fires up first kick every time! Does anyone have any advice on making this easier to start?

I found with mine ('02 YZ250F), if I blipped the throttle once, then held it on at about 1/4 (then kick it), it would start easier when hot/warm. I'm sure jetting, etc., will make a difference between bikes, so your milage may very.
