ACR's on my CVO Breakout were problematic on starts.

Default ACR=Automatic compression release

My bike was under warranty at the time, so I had the HD dealer do a Stage I with a SE tuner.
I had the same problem afterwards on my 2012 FLHX. After posting on another thread here someone suggested checking the ACR's.
I took it back to the same HD dealer and told the service manager to check to see if the ACR's we deactivated during the Tuner download. Bingo! the chump mechanic didn't do the download correctly and verify the the ACR's were still enabled.

As others have said, heck the functionality of the ACR. It they are good, load test the battery.

It does sound like a high compression at start issue.

I guess I need to check the programming on my bike too then. I had a couple of people tell me I probably need bigger battery cables. Maybe the ACRs were somehow disabled when I used the TTS tuner to download a program.

EDIT: I looked at the TTS software last night and I don't see an option to enable/disable ACR. Does anyone know if TTS can do this, maybe I missed it. I emailed TTS, maybe I will get an answer back from them.

[QUOTE=Mchad;15425403]Hi all, I'm stopping by from the Dyna forum. My 2016 Low Rider S came with a factory 110SE motor, which I believe has been in the CVO's for a few years now.

Hey, I’m currently having this same issue, what did you end up finding? Bikes stranded me a few times and trying to find correct answer. I asked Harley tech what the vinner was and he had no idea...

My 07 Street Glide has been a hard starter when hot. It doesn't have ACR's so I've been dealing with it cautiously. It doesn't make you want to go far from home that's for sure.
