hard starting

maybe normal but after my bike is hot off a ride next start is hard, it cranks normal at first and then makes a wierd sound and then fires up. maybe due to the remapping after stage 1 air cleaner and v&h sideshots. anybody out there experience anything like that?

david.... yes, quite a few have complained of that in the dyna forum. One of the things people have done, is to hit the start button before the fuel pump/engine light goes off...

Now that I have a new battery the bike fires up immediately upon hitting the switch, hot or not.
