And you are who ? It's normally polite to introduce yourself before just asking for help.

I think you have a heating problem.

And spell checker problem too, Check the coolant level in the rad and overflow bottle, do it when it's stone cold though!

What happens when you press the starter ? Does it click ? Does the engine try to fire or is it silent ?
Could be coils breaking down. Does it try to fire ?

How does it sound when you go to fire it up, is it turning over normally and not firing?
Could be Regulator / Rectifier not working? Not charging the battery but as the battery stands still it regains charge? Maybe, could be a number of things, where abouts are you based?

I reckon poor compression in the barrel after warming up.

Valve clearances done recently?
if there out of tollerance when a bikes hot i think they make it hard to start..?

Valve clearance was gonna be my next suggestion, just easier to check the charge first as doesn't involve removing engine bits first

I would also agree valves must be out , its just text book how you let the bike cool and its fine again , could though in all fairness be the plugs knackerd and need changing maybe ?
