Default Trouble staring bike when hot. - Please help

Hi.

I have an '85 GS550e.

When I first start the bike it starts right up and is running fantastic. After riding around for about a half an hour if i shut off the bike and try to start it again it wont start. The starter cranks but the motor doesnt budge. If I wait half an hour for the engine to cool a bit the bike starts right up again.

Again the bike is running great and starts right up when its cool so im having trouble trying to figure out whats wrong with it.

Anyone have any ideas as to what the problem is or at least any suggestions as to what to look into.

Thanks in advance for any help provided.
