The 954RR is pretty easy to compression start. The former owner of mine showed me how easily it could be done before I bought the new battery for the bike, and I've even tried it for fun a few times since replacing the battery. It's a benefit to have a lightweight bike at times like that!

It could be the starter. Look further down for the other thread about starting problems.

i did pop start it one time it happened cause i killed the battery trying to start it. when i pop/push started it, it didnt start easy like it shouldve but it did start jus delayed like it took a couple cycles b4 it fired up. i read the starting problems thread and i seen the starter fixed his, u think im having the same problem cause it turns over fine even pops a little but wont start unless i let it sit or cool off a bit. thanks guys

I'm not sure the starter has fixed this for sure yet. I haven't been able to get out and test the bike like I want bc of the random rain storms we've been having. My bike doesn't come out unless it's prefect blue skies lol. Is your bike having the same issues as mine? And, if you decide to replace the starter, do yourself a favor and remove the throttle bodies and go in that way. That or make sure to remove the coolant lines in there bc the space is limited. I replaced my starter through the side and and just barely had room.

I believe AJ thought his was turning over fine too, but it was spinning the motor just a little bit slower than normal. If you killed the battery, then push starting would have been harder. You need a little juice to prime the fuel pump.

Tank breather.... may be plugged. Tank builds pressure then it won't start till pressure relieves. Try opening your fuell cap and then starting it. If it starts its your breather

I have seen on another type of bike that the valve shims were so tight that once the engine heated up the valves hung open just enough that there wasn't enough compression to start it.
