I sold it today, will be out of motorcycling for a while... <3 Thanks all.

Also Ok, what I need to line up after I do the springs and rollers change or even whole clutch? Can I make some mistake? What are the markings on the clutch for? Or can I just take if off and replace and put it back on the bike? What about that little pin that I should took from old clutch and put on the new one? More explanation please, or maybe pictures. Can the loose golden screws result this symptom? (only hot start issue)?

I would try to change starter relay plug, pink one, if I keep the bike till the spring.

Yeah this is what I wanted to do next year, new holding with brushes. Battery was new so that isn't a problem. Maybe the battery cables but I don't even know where I can find those new. Checked the grounds etc, all fine. Didn't try to check starter relay but I guess it will fail every time not just when really hot. So I still suspect on starter motor then starter clutch parts.

Im using semi-sint oil. Previous oil was Ipone R4000 15-50w, now is Total 10-40w. MA2 standard, motorcycle oil.

Ok thanks. I am selling it atm but if I keep it, first I will open the case and check for crack. If there is no crack, then I will change springs and rolers aka repair kit from Wemoto. Just in case. But I don't have a slipping sound like bad starter clutch its more it is stalling/slowing down then countinue then fires up. Like bad contacts/battery/brushes on motor.

But I don't think its the starter clutch problem, if it is, shouldn't I have problems with both cold and warm start not only 1 in 10-15 ONLY when super hot?

Google is showing starter freewheel as gear shaft/gear on which starter gears shaft sitting, starter clutch... so don't know what is it exactly.

I am selling my motorcycle, I don't know if I fixed the problem cuz Im not ridding it anymore but I found one thing in the french article with VFR750 with 500.000km!!! from french on gt: – Starter freewheel, because when it comes to restarting when very hot, the freewheel slips and no longer exceeds the torque of the starter. (well the stroller). I guess that is famous starter clutch slip or is this some starter freeplay??? Here is the original on french: – La roue libre de démarreur, car quand il s’agit de rédemarrer lorsqu’elle est très chaude, la roue libre patine et ne passe plus le couple du démarreur. (donc poussette)

And the author of the thread never replied what it was but it had same symptoms as I have now, hot starts, like weak battery or starter motor problems. My thread I guess in the end I will check the starter clutch and replace the springs in the winter.

Still persist but less noticable. Next move new holder with brushes for starter and oil change.

Cleaned these bolts, wires, battery cables. Also this is what I was talking about. Starter relay plug is bit melted, inside is looking fine and on the side is a melt. I isolated with a duct tape that part. Doubt that is the culprit but can be potential problem for something in the future. It was like that when I bought it so it didn't spread or something in the meantime. I guess it was cuz r/r failure in the past or something else. - Im countinuing chasing gremlins... :D

Red arrow, I have this on my 3rd gen, don't know from which part is this wire. Blue arrow- I don't have there any wire on 3rd gen. Its just a holder for coils or smth.

Also are there any other engine grounds to check except that main one on the left side from the negative battery terminal?

Update: Temperature dropped to around 20C, I done some short <1km ride to the store, same grind after first try, second try I started it. Like the very short rides don't charge the battery up, but as I know it shouldn't be like that with good battery and mine is. Then I have ridden to the next store which is like hundred meter apart, turned off, and started without any problems and went home. Not big problems but annoying for me.
