I had there same symptoms and it turned out to be high resistance in the
starter.
Before I pulled the starter and cleaned up the armature surface ( where the
brushes contact)
The machine would crank slowly when cold and then just bog down when hot.
It was Russian roulette style starting.
Now it cranks much faster cold or hot.
This is all with a lawn tractor battery (sealed ) 365 amps.
I know you said in a previous mail that the starter is good. But boy it
sounds just like my experience.

Ian,
Thanks, you are probably right I am starting to perhaps get too finicky.
Anyway, yesterday the missus and I went on a 3 hour, 100 mile cruise! It
handled well with the extra poundage and it didn't skip a beat. It hauled
hard on hills but then it is only a 750. It still seems to be running a bit
hot and perhaps just another, now friendly, visit to Sport Cycle for more
tuning is in order. I do learn from them also. Also, at one point in the
trip, about 50 miles out we stopped and then started up again. The bike
started fine, even though I was prepared to pop the clutch (useful to have
the missus around to help with this!). When we returned home I tried to
start the bike just as a test and it didn't budge. Any ideas? Are the
pistons still too new and thus too tight to give when she's hot? I have a
battery in the bike that's rated for 230 cc amps and 290 cranking amps. I am
thinking that just getting something new (maybe a Sears garden tractor
battery rated at 400cc amps) would be the way to go. Best, Bob
