Thx

I had and still have this problem. I may in fact be the "other forum member" that Poster is referring to above.
Here is my post from two years ago:
http://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-...iii-fueling-problems-bike-wont-start-hot.html
I still have this issue. It did get a little better when I manually adjusted my PCIII settings on the lowest FI settings.
The WORST time to experience this is if you stall out at a traffic signal - or in slow moving traffic - on a hot day. At least once I have had to push over to the side of the road while I waited for the damn thing to cool off to the point that it would start up.
The other fun time I've had this problem is on a big group ride at a fuel stop, where everyone had to wait for me to get the god damn thing started again. This was on the ride where my current forum avatar (with officer J. Peterson) was taken from. I have since added in the extra fuel in the lower settings and it did help some as I mentioned.
My setup: U.S. model, 2007, Leo Vince slip-ons (cat eliminated), K&N air filter, PowerCommander III with the Leo Vince map from the PCIII website (with aforementioned fuel setting mods to that map).
Now even when it's hot out and I stop briefly, generally I can quickly re-start the bike. It takes a bit of feel, and timing. If it won't start, I cycle the key on and off, and try again. If it REALLY won't work after a couple of re-cycles of the ignition, I turn the key off and wait 60 seconds. It always starts after that.
Good luck, do report back if you have any further info or suggestions.
P.S. - I probably should get the thing dyno-ed and tuned properly.
Ohh hey yeah I was talking about you.
Dude, the embarrassment as I have push my bike to the side of the road to get it to cool off is unbearable.
My procedure to restart it is same as yours, lol.
I have read quite a bit about this problem and so far no solution. everybody has so vague idea to solve this but so far I haven't found anything concrete.

Any error codes? Any mods, like a fuel controller?
I am starting to have exactly the same problem with a completely stock bike with over 80k miles on it. So it's not valve clearance.Feels cringe to resurrect this but I am experiencing the same problem on my 2009 S2, completely stock and 3k miles on the clock. It feels like it should start right up but sometimes when hot it wont start....like today.....let it cool off and it starts right up. Idk if anyone could point me somewhere where this has been discussed more? I keep coming back to this thread. Thanks!
If you have a clogged fuel filter it may be reducing fuel volume. The fuel filter is attached to the fuel pump.In my case cannot be fuel pump and i can cleary hear the pump running strong, in fact i can even see the gas on the tank splash because of the pressure.
I need more ideas...
