cold start good, hot start bad

hi all.. thought I'd start a new thread after my electronic ignition dilemma. I'm well happy with the points set up now. this isa 2006 500 classic bullet, 4 speed.
My starting technique (after a load of you tube browsing) is kick her over with decompressor in for 10 gentle swigs, to get oil to the right places, then ease her over TDC and one full kick gets her running every time. I find its better to turn in the tickover screw before I do this, and she doesn't like / need the choke. I don't tough the throttle till she's caught.
However, when she's warm, she can kick back or take a few kicks.
she pulls like a train and pulls from very low down revs without a hiccup. I have a standard air filter and a VERY free flowing aftermarket exhaust. she doesn't pop on the over run.
do you think I have the carb set up slightly wrong? any advice? I'm pretty sure the points / timing are set up well.
