Default Any ideas?

I have a 07 RoadGlide. Sometimes it will start right up, then sometimes it will hesitate. The biggest issue is though after riding it, when I make a stop and try to start it again, it won't start.

Turns over, and can hear the fuel pump, but it just won't start. It has been happening usually after fueling up. If I let it sit for an hour, then it will start.

Could someone point me in a direction? Coil over heating, fuel filter?

Thanks!

I have an 09 RG and had similar problem. ended up being a short in the fuel pump main lead. Other thing I would check is filter but if that is clogged it wouldn't start. Got to be something with fuel check line as well.

The first thin I would do is Cary a extra spark plug with me and when you get to the point when it won't start unplug one of your spark plugs and plug in the spare ground it to the motor and crank it over to see if you have spark. That will tell you for sure if it's spark or fuel
