Trouble starting
Bought my '10 Fat Bob (Black Screamin Eagle Pipes & Stage 1 Air) in June and currently have about 1,800 miles on it. For some time, it has had trouble starting when hot. Not every time, but once in a while, after refueling I would go to start up and it would turn but not actually start. I would let it sit for just a few seconds and it would start right up like nothing was wrong.
Today, however, I went to start it after having let it sit in the garage for 2 weeks following an 800 mile ride through 100+ degree heat. When I hit the starter, it turned over a couple times then "clanked" to a stop, nothing else. I tried to start it again after just a second and it started fine. I noticed some lightly gray tinted water was spraying out of the lower exhaust pipe, and when I got home I noticed a bunch of small black flakes on the ground behind where the pipes were. Bike seems to run like normal, although it "seems" that the cluth lever is loose, but I could just be being over-sensitive on that. Only issue is it not starting on first try but firing right up on the second. Ideas?
