Starts first time when engine is cold. Splutters and backfires repeatedly when the engine is hot (e.g filling up with petrol or short stop). If you are lucky it may eventually fire up after about 6 to 10 tries but any more and the battery is too low to turn the engine over = long push home.
SOURCE: Xchallenge won't start when engine is hot.
Check tightness of bolt where (carb/FI) goes into intake, and where intake goes into engine. Check gaskets in those locations, if any. Sounds like heat is causing some material to distort, causing a vacuum leak.

I've got a service manual for an F650. Would that do you any good?
