so did it start when it got cool ,like 3or4 hours later or the next day?
refresh our memory what mods do you have ?
cylinder kit? pipe ? did you change the air filter or carb or carb settings?
and btw thanks for the good words!!

Hi! the day after, like today I put my battery on charge all day,
when I back home for dinner I try-it and he will start and run with the
electric starter for about 2-3 times and samething with the kick starter,
then I live for a ride, about 20 minutes come back home, and didn't want
run with the electric starter,but with the kick starter he run for a few time
then didn't want run,check the fire on the plug and the fire are very low,
after a several time of try with the kick starter he will run again,but not whit the electric
starter

I buy-it brand new with any mod on it
the only thing, my dealer change my stator on at 1,100 km.

my pleasure harry!

it sounds like it will start  ok with a fully charged battery
( which has run down the battery)
 but then not after you have started it a few times.

charge the battery
test voltage level
start/ride scooter until you have trouble starting
test battery level again ; if voltage level has dropped
by 1.5 v+   you might think about getting a new battery

i still need more info

1.
battery status(voltage) before starting motor
battery status (voltage)when starting motor does not start scooter
does the starting motor crank the motor over  when hot?
2.
when scooter will not start ,spray a tiny "pssst"
of starting fluid in airbox  and see if it will start then
