Default PCV And Hard Starting 09 Heritage

After installing a PCV on my Heritage it starts hard when cold, it takes 2-3 crank cycles to get the bike to start. When it is warm it starts fine, and from then on it runs great.

Called Keith from FuelMoto and he said they have a couple bikes with this problem and the few suggestions he had we tried with out success.

Told me to check in in a month or so and see if they have had any luck. So my question is if any one has any ideas on what to try next?

This is a historical issue with the PCIII and newer PCV. The fix is to start the bike as soon as you turn on the ignition switch. Doing this should allow it to start immediately, and waiting longer for the check-engine light to go off is not necessary.
