For a quick check of speedometer function, a "WOW"
test can be performed. Press and hold odometer reset
switch then turn ignition switch ON. Release reset
switch. Background lighting should illuminate,
speedometer needle should sweep its full range
of motion, and indicator lamps (sixth gear, check engine,
low fuel, battery and security) should illuminate. The
sixth gear indicator lamp will illuminate even though it is
not used in normal vehicle operations. The security lamp
may illuminate even if the vehicle is not equipped with a
security system.

Most Modern bikes have a safety feature where vacuum from the running engine keeps the fuel flowing through the shutoff valve. If you look closely, there may not even be an "off" position. Most I have seen will have the "on", "reserve" and "prime" settings. You would need to put the lever in the "prime:" setting to initially start the bike. This lets fuel flow to the carburetors bowls, bypassing the safety of the normal "on" position. Once the bike starts in this position, you should be able to switch back to the normal "on" position and have the bike stay running. You will not have to change this position after that unless you leave the bike sitting long enough to evaporate some fuel out of the bowls, or you run low enough to need the reserve. Under normal conditions, the fact that the bike is not running will automatically shut off the valve.
Hope this helps!

Hi and welcome to FixYa!
Looks like the ignition coil is worn out. It starts good on cold for the ignition coil is not forced yet and when the engine is warm it fails to start for the coil is hot. I believe that once the ignition coil is replaced you'll be good.
Hope this helps and thank you for using Fixya! Have a good one!
