Delayed start after shutting off
Hey, y'all. Been putting this off all summer.
2009 dyna lowrider
After switching bars and, rewiring the hi/lo beam and, cut off switches to toggle switches. The bike starts and, runs perfect. Until I turn it off. Then it won't start for right about, 4 min. When it does start, it fires up smooth runs great.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Delay is odd. Things usually work, or don't. Can you hear the fuel pump come on right away?
Are you playing with switches and wigging? Turn on and off, ect?
Try to start, then leave on, not touching anything, and push start second time in 4 minutes. I'd be surprised if starts. But who knows.

Yeah, it's a strange issue.
I'll give it a shot. I'm thinking it's something electronic that takes about 4 min to reset. Possibly due to the new switches I installed. Specifically, the cut off switch.
The fuel pump does come on when it won't start. But, not every time.

. Please let us know. Because a time delay is just so weird. My first gues was wiggling a switch or wire does it. That is why I suggest leaving it on. Walk away, then walk back and touch nothing but starter.
I would also start in neutral to take the clutch interlock out of this, which could be sticking. I do not know if that blocks fuel pump. Drawings would show that.
Could also then try with clutch pulled in.

But what causes it to later work? Something he is cycling like kill switch or ignition switch?
I believe lights and starter relay may be same, you could swap them. Not sure that would reset with time though. Not an expensive relay. Not the worse to change based on age either.
