No, sounded normal to me.
I'm totally lost. It sounds like a bad battery to me in the first vid and it starts great after you fully charged the battery.
It starts normally at first. But I turn it off and then back on and it struggles like that.
Your bike has no charging probably. Take 5000 revs and check the voltage on the battery terminals. It should be between 14 and 15 volts.
Did you check the starter clutch by backbard turning of the starter gear in the starter gear box?
Lots of comments and guesses from everyone. Regarding the charging function, the stator and the rectifier, all of these can be quickly and easily tested using a home voltmeter. The testing procedures and expected results are clearly described in the service manual. Have these tests been done yet? It seems to me that this should be the first thing to do when trouble-shooting this problem. If the stator and rectifier perform as per the service manual, and the battery voltage is within spec when not running, at idle, and at 5000 rpm (again as per the service manual), then the charging circuit is working fine. But until these tests are performed, and functionality confirmed, it's impossible to trouble shoot.
Agreed. You need to pull the commutator out of the housing and inspect the brushes and magnets.
Starter motor maybee?
DC motor 101. Commutator is mounted to the shaft, along with rotor windings. Two machine screws to remove to pull the rotor from the starter housing. Once apart, the rotor windings, brushes, and stator magnets can be inspected. The commutator should also be inspected and cleaned with a very fine emery paper to restore back to bare copper.

Oh, thanks, my bad understud.
bike wont start when hot SOLVED

This is exactly the problem I had on my old bike (96 GSXR 750). As mentioned above, after inspecting the starter internals and confirming the starter was in bad shape, I replaced it and the problem instantly disappeared. I purchased an aftermarket starter on Amazon for $90 Cdn.bike wont start when hot SOLVED

Can the OP provide an update ??? It would be good to know what the actual problem was.

An update would be good, I'm not convinced it's the starter motor. It's either the charging system (whether faulty or not being ridden long enough to allow a decent charge), a faulty relay or bad earth/connection or battery cable
