DNS came back today - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

It's been 6 weeks since I did the extra relay mod to power my starter relay from a 12V hot wire coming directly from the battery instead of going through the CSS, energizing the new relay from the ignition starter switch as suggested, to eliminate the dreaded DNS issue.
This has worked flawlessly for 6 weeks but today after about an 18 mile 1/2 hr. ride into town, then coming back to the car 1/2 hr. later, it would not start, the ignition circuit totally dead. After waiting another 1/2 hr-45 min, apparently for all that's underhood to cool off a bit, it started up immediately and ran perfectly all the way home. When I got home and shut it off, it was immediately able to be restarted.
What causes this DNS, just the heat underneath the hood? Is my starter relay the problem? The starter does not make any funny noises and once energized, seems to work fine and starts the car in a second or two at the most.
Where so I look to solve this now?
Anyone else experience this even after doing that added relay mod to convert their car to the later starting circuitry?
