You are experiencing a heat soak problem with your starter.
1st; check that the wire to the starter and the terminals is in good shape
and that the connection tight.
2nd; there is an electro-magnetic arm section in the starter which moves the
drive gear to the flywheel. This part may need inspection and cleaning to
make it work right.

Subject: Tiger Starting problem
Sometimes when starting up my Tiger, I turn the ignition key and get an
"electric spinning type noise" (not the fuel pump) from the engine
compartment, but the engine is not cranking/turning over --- seems like the
starter is not working properly? Then, I turn the key off, wait a couple of
seconds, then try again, and it cranks/starts up fine. Bad starter moter?
This is an intermittant problem. The engine starts no problem when it
cranks.
Also, seems like it does this primarily when the engine is warm/hot. Do not
recall this when the engine is cold, but not sure on that.
Any help/suggestions, I would appreciate it.
