Hard starting?
Hi Folks,
I'm new to the EFI world and my '07 street glide seems to want to spin over about 3 times (1-1.5 sec) before it fires up....is this the norm?
Bike engine is stock with 12k miles and a stage 1 air filter, PC III, and V&H oval slip-ons.
Do I have something wrong in my PC tune or is this just the nature of the beast?

My 2010 SG started having starting issues after installing the 103". They warrantied the starter clutch, lasted 3.5 months and doing it again. It starts fine cold 1st bump. After it's warmed up it slaps, spins, and puffs smoke about 3 - 4 times. No more warranty left on repair work. Another old school HD employee and I agree it's tune/time issue. But sevice won't go there. BTW, I have an oil cooler.

Installing to the SE compensator makes a world of difference in starting and shifting. Hardly any clunk when shifting, neutral is very easy and no more giant clunk when you start cold. Now starts very smoothly.
My 08 Ultra SE3 runs like a completely different bike......... almost Honda like smooth shifting !!

Spoke with the service manager at my local dealer. He says he knows what I am talking about, says its been happening since '09 and has not heard of any problems from it. I asked if they are covering anything under warranty and he said no but if I were to get someone at the MOCO to approve it, he could do the work. No ****.
