I've been having a few problems whenever my motor is hot. (after half hr to 45 mins of ride)

- difficulty in starting bike
I could crank for quite a while and the motor just won't turn over. Had to twist the throttle to get it idling low, and a few more throttle to get it back up on normal idling.

- bike jumps to a stop when engaging gear
Kicked off my side stand and engage gear 1. Bike will almost jump to a stop every time. (as if throwing clutch without throttle) Sometimes the neutral light stays even if I positively kick into gear. Tried changing neutral sensor but it's still the same.

- stuck throttle
Throttle will be fine at start and idling is roughly 1.5k. After long ride, throttle seems to be stuck at times even though throttle's closed. It wil get stuck at 2.5 to 3k rpm and stay there. Sometimes it will slowly ease off after I release a lil clutch. And At times it will slowly creep downwards. Oiled the throttle cables and still doesn't help. Prob only evident when motor is hot.
