Default 2014 Ultra Limited Starting problem?

Can anyone give me some information on my bike please. When I'm in an area that the temp is around 90 degrees, I go to start my bike and it just won't catch right away. I have to give it fuel and it will start but run rough for a while then it catches and runs perfectly. Although it is injected, it acts as if it needs the choke pulled out to operate. This is contrary to the way it is supposed to run. I've had it into the dealerships and if the problem cant be duplicated, they cant help me. Any help would be appreciated.
Problem 2 is another problem that is intermittent and can't always be duplicated. When I go to start the bike, is begins to start then slams shut. It sounds like the starter just crashes. I just turn it off then go to restart the bike and all is well. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I would take it back to the dealer and insist that they take the time to duplicate the problem. If they won't, get the factory rep involved.

how do you give it fuel? As it is throttle by wire turning the grip may do nothing until computer thinks it needs to.

My '11 UC did the same thing when the battery was starting to die. With a new battery, it started right up every time there after.
