Default Problems starting with button when hot

I haven't had any serious problems starting mine with the button when hot. Occasionaly it will want to kick back against the starter when it gets hot, but that's a matter of going in and updating the starter gears to the '04 worm gear kit which I haven't done. Once I recognized the problem, I'll turn the key off and wait for 10-15 seconds to reset the system and then all is a go. I will likely start kicking it while hitting the button just to preserve my battery life since I got stranded in a canyon last fall because the battery died. We tried to push it, pull it, etc. but without any juice the fuel injection won't feed it.

A lot of guys have had real finicky bikes when cold starting but mine hasn't been a problem. If it's a little slow because it's below freezing, I'll kick it with the button and it comes to life.

Good luck.
