Interesting! Still ok or to soon to call?My mechanic thinks that everything depended on the ovality of the pivot of this gear posted by in fact it coincides with the fact that as the kilometers went by the problem became more and more frequent until it was present every time I started the engine

Sad thing to have to do on a new bike....I'd be pretty disenchanted if this happened to me.Now everything is OK! I think Pashnit is right and the cause is the gear, not so much the starter motor.I changed both

what do you mean by 'super hot'? I am not heat-resistant myself anyroad...Almost two years later (Mother's Day 2022), I got my second episode of hot start issue.
Things in common: Super hot day, and at around 1400. Went to the grocery store 3 miles down the road. About six traffic lights. Low speed so no time for air to cool things off. I shut off the engine, let the fan blow until it shuts off, and I leave.
Ten minutes later, bike wouldn't start. After two attemps and a desperate prayer, third time it started up like nothing. Thirty seconds total from seemingly having a dead battery to behaving like a new battery.
It's why since that first scary time in 2022, unless it's a road that lets me arrive with plenty of speed to keep the temp gauge at the 1/4 mark, I mostly ride after 1600 when the sun is far away and temperatures have dropped.

I see - judging from myself, it would never happen to my own busa since I always shut down myself first with the heat: 30 C (86 F) is my no-go or go to the hospital!I'm sure he'll answer you in detail the next time he's online, but he lives in Puerto-Rico, so it's very hot and humid.
Mine was a short warm-up to get temperature in the oil, then a ten mile ride at 55 mph with outside ambient temp of around 50 degrees. I highly doubt mine is a temp issue. Highs are in the low 30’s this week so I won’t get a chance to ride again for a while. Time will tell. Still looks way cool in my shop!Almost two years later (Mother's Day 2022), I got my second episode of hot start issue.

It's Suzuki's fault, we know that, but what if this is happening due to whatever flawed starter part needing a goldilocks temperature?Mine was a short warm-up to get temperature in the oil, then a ten mile ride at 55 mph with outside ambient temp of around 50 degrees.

not really but its kind of cheating, i can make the throttle open as much as i want during cranking in the maxx without having to move the throttle manually, change ignition timing during cranking etc.I still don't think it's a hardware issue.
Opening the throttle is a repeatable fix.
This suggests a tuning issue. Table maps. @smithabusa does your gen 3 have this issue using a maxecu?
And that's kind of my point. Maybe the factory ecu tables don't account enough for temp or other variables.not really but its kind of cheating, i can make the throttle open as much as i want during cranking in the maxx without having to move the throttle manually, change ignition timing during cranking etc.
