Went for a ride this weekend and it was quite warm out. Bike ran good but after stopping for a few minutes the bike was slow to start. I hit the ignition button and it kept cranking for a 3 or 4 seconds longer than normal, then it lit and started with very low RPMs taking about 5 to 10 seconds to get up to normal idle. Then the bike was falling on its face, almost feeling like it wants to stall while leaving stops and signals. This happened multiple times that day. I opened the gas cap thinking it was a vapor lock but that didn’t help. I had done a TPS reset a couple of weeks ago so I don't think thats the issue. The bike ran fine other than that issue. Any ideas?

Mine starts hard when hot. Like the starter can't quite turn over the hot engine fast enough. New battery, charging good.
Seems to run fine after that though.
