Default 2018 streetbob start problem

Just wondering if anybody ever has a problem starting the bike when it's warm. It doesn't always happened. But sometimes after about 20 mins ride and turn it off, it won't start again after.

Have to be a bit more specific, Erico. Does it crank but doesn't start, or does it not even crank?

Yes, it crank up. But wont start. i need to charge the battery again like couple hours, and it start. The main concern is if we do riding, and it happens out of nowhere. Thats why i kinda confuse with this problems.

I have to think that if it's cranking, but not starting, then the battery is fine.

Whatever it is, it's probably heat related, and if so it will likely get worse. Take it in and see if they can pull any codes.
