This has happened a few times but only after riding hard and on a very hot day. I'll be riding around and stop for about 10-20 mins. (usually parked in the sun) Then I'll come back and attempt to start it as normal and it doesn't seem to turn over fast enough because it won't start. I let off the starter button, gave it a second and tried again and it fired right up. I replaced my battery 2 months ago when it first showed signs of this. Bad starter, stator, connection?

Interesting. That happens all the time to me and I never gave it a thought.

Stator was my problem when I had that happen to me.

I believe it is due to the engine compression. let it sit for a second compression bleeds down than the starter can build up momentum again. though it could be a connection or charging system concern. my bike has been doing that since around 6,000 miles
the starter gear reduction is not very good on buells
compared to cars also

another thing to check, is remove the right control and clean the corrosion off the starter relay wire screw,(that connects to the starter button) that was the problem with mine..

Mine did that forever. Then I figured out my battery cables were too loose. Use loctite on the threads and torque to spec. Then wait for the loctite to set before you ride.

Hasn't happened one time since I torqued it.

Looks like a few things to check...
I appreciate all the input.
