Default Nasty noise when starting

Hi all, I've always had this problem on start well intermittently, I thought after having compression releases fitted it would stop. It has gotten better and from cold don't normally have a issue but hot is getting worse I think.

If I ride out somewhere and leave it 20 mins it will start fine but need choke to idle for a few mins. If I switch it off and then try to start again witching in say 5mins or so it normally does this also.

Here's a video this is a warm bike it's just been put away after a 20-25 minute ride.

I can't get the video to play.

Normally a clunk/grind is your starter drive gear not meshing with your ring gear.

Timing too advanced or battery is dying

Could it be the starter clutch. Bike is on original starter motor.
