[QUOTE="dirt bike dave, post: 1294033, member: 18302"] If you have flooded it, put it in neuetral and open the throttle all the way and kick it over a bunch of times. DO NOT open and close the throttle - hold it wide open the hole time. The air coming in is what is needed to clear the motor out. Also, check your valves. Overly tight valves are a very common cause of hard hot starting. When the valves wear on these bikes, the valve clearances tighten up. Basically, when the motor heats up, the clearances get even tighter. If you are too tight to begin with, the valves are not quite closing all the way. This can make for great difficulty on a hot start. [/QUOTE]
