Hyper is suddenly harder to start - this began at about 3,000 km. (now I'm nearly at 5,000).

When the bike is cold it seems to always start on the first try.

But when it's warm, and I start it often in the city (short trips), it fails to start on the first try quite often - I'd say about 50% of the time. It then fails on the second attempt maybe 10%. Has so far always started on the 3rd at the latest.

I wonder if anyone else has seen this, and if there's anything I can do about it.

I start by putting it in neutral and hitting the start button, no gas.

Bummer. Have you had the ECU updates done? The one I got the DNA letter about was supposed to address starting issues.
 
Consistent failures about 50% of the time, but only when the bike is warm. Cold, it's fine. A friend's has similar problems.

Was at the dealer today & they ordered a part. I am guessing the starter motor.
