Do you hear the fuel pump prime when you try to restart? I'd suspect a relay getting hot since it's 20 minutes. One trick, move and reset the relays when restarting.

Drink a pot every morning. $20 Ham Beach. Throw in 3 scoops plus 1 hazelnut. Let her rip. 10 minutes and pour. Don't overthink morning.

I remember seeing Hendrix live on Cavett. As well as Janis, Lennon, Jefferson Airplane. His band was led by Bobby Rosengarden. The show's theme was "Candide". Cavett perhaps educated me as a young teen as much as any news, lit or humanity study I ever had. There were some nasty feuds as well, like Mailer and Vidal. I recommend Gore Vidal's US History Series (aka "Narratives of Empire"). My favorites were "Lincoln" and "Empire". Chronologically, the series begins with "Burr".

Reminds me a similar story in Tulsa OK. This was during Leon Russell's heyday. Many of the major musicians came to town like Geo Harrison. Anyway, this guy is playing solo guitar in a local bar, The Colony. He's really, really good. He finishes his set and says "Thank you, I'm Eric Clapton". Walks out.

All prosecco is cheap, why do you think the Venetians added Aperol? -

add some Aperol. -
@docc Mine too. The song was inspired by Stefan Johannsen, a former Ferrari F1 driver that raced Indycars before he retired. Some of the sentiment was about the dangers of driving open wheel cars on oval tracks. A riding buddy (Suzuki Bandits) and myself took my travel trailer to the Indy 500 for the race weekend. I played the song so much, he asked me to stop. Sorta like my experience on the board here.

I was thinking the same. After I cleaned everything, fuses, relays and sockets, that's when the problem went from intermittent to fail. Failures always occurred on start up. I can't recall a failure once I got started.
-
These fuses aren't "failed" or blown. This particular group of fuses will just not work in a single slot. Two old discarded fuses I had as spares will work in that slot. I assume it's connection. I notice that each of three different brands of fuses has slightly different "prongs", one has straight ones, two have slight hooks on them (one that works and the other doesn't).
-
The fuses weren't new. I replaced them all like I replaced the relays a few years ago. I've had some connection problems with fuses on this bike before. In this case, NONE of those replacement fuses would work in that slot after I cleaned it. The old fuses I had stashed as spares in my tankbag worked fine, even one that was corroded. @docc Now that you mention it, the replacement fuses were the opaque type, the old ones are transparent. None of the fuses were blown, it's just the newer ones didn't work in that particular slot. Drove me nuts.

Being the most inept mechanic in the known world, I was screwing around on my '98 California EV. My V11 Sport and Ducati perhaps in the shop from now through eternity. So the taillights and turn signals intermittently fail. I've diagnosed (Lord help me) the problem to the fuse. It's just doesn't make good contact. So occasionally I have to reset or wiggle it, clean it with contact cleaner. Yesterday I went through the same drill. So today I decided to clean all the fuses and relays with DeOxit and contact cleaner. I replaced the fuses and relays a few years ago. They're all identical (15A). All cleaned up and randomly put them to their respective slots. And I never got the taillight/turn signals to ever work. (Brake light is fine). I play with all of them, reclean, move them around for perhaps an hour. Nothing. As last ditch effort I pull an old fuse, different brand, perhaps one I pulled out in the first place. And it works. Like magic. Not content, I find another one. An old fuse that is corroded and worn. Works fine. OK, What the heck? Someone tell me.
