Bike hard to start when it’s hot???

(1/7) > >>

bobrebos:
If I ride my 2013 Stelvio for a while and it gets hot and I shut it off, when I return like 45 minutes later it turns over and over and over without starting.  Then I stop trying to start it, wait a few more minutes, try again and it starts.  Starts fine in the morning when it’s been sitting/cold.  Electrical problem somewhere when hot like a coil failing or something???  Any ideas before I bring it to a shop somewhere.

I would reset the TPS and do a throttle body sync. It sounds like it is just a touch lean (or rich) at that temperature.
It may also be a sticking idle stepper motor.

Also, double check the spark plug gap. Everything may be struggling in those conditions and a bit too much gap may just be enough to prevent it from firing.

Also, double check the stark plug gap. Everything may be struggling in those conditions and a bit too much gap may just be enough to prevent it from firing.

Set the valves and change the plugs, that would be the first stop for me, then proceed as wayne says above if you a a guzzidiag person

bobrebos:
These plugs on my 2013 Stelvio (Ngk CR8EKB) are dual tab type plugs so I don’t think I can adjust change the gap??  Maybe I should order some single tab (NGK PMR8B) which are also recommended for the Stelvio.  Single tab would be able to set gap.
