Sounds like a bad coil, they break down when hot. Could also be some of the
componets under the nose cone if your bike has electronic ignition.

Timimg timing timing... and if you have an electric start, yer other
electronics is malfugaling or needs a check as well.

My '76 Shov used to have that problem (kick start only) until I had
somebody that knew what they where doing look after it...ME!

Start from scratch, check everything again, and BINGO!<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Kinda wierd you went for the mixture being rich. I've had one or two
suggest it may be lean to cause this problem. Either way I guess if i
check the mixture adjustment I can eliminate two possible causes.

cheers.

The only way I can think of that it could be lean is if there is a vacuum
leak when it is hot.

A cold motor will tolerate an over-rich mixture, a hot motor will blubber
and fart and foul plugs with an over-rich mix.
