Hard To start when hot??

When I stop my bike for, lets say 2 minutes or more when it is at operating temp it is really hard to re-start (can take up to 5 secs or more). after it has cooled a bit or if i re-start straight away it's fine.
Now I know there is probably something I can do with the tune to correct this but I am just unsure what??

Has anyone had any similar problems?

TIA

HD did offer on some models a re flash . They reduced the timing on cranking. This and much more can be done with the TTS. HD is trying to run 24-25 of initial timing , ???? they need 12-15 and will start much easier and in many cases the starter clunk that some claim is the comp issue is gone.

will have to check out the timing. I'm pretty sure ATM it's set at 14 degrees
