Default Fuel Pressure regulator

I was having a problem starting my 09 Heritage after it sat for a couple hours it would crank fine but not start until I flipped the switch a couple of times. Turns out it was the fuel pressure regulator bleeding down and not having enough fuel to start the bike. Anybody else have this problem or am I just the unlucky one?

just had to have the lines inside the tank redone....

she started starting harder and at 100 miles she started to miss out... Refueling tank and it went away.... Yeppers its was the hole in the gas line inside the tank/

all new parts to the fuel dilevery system inside the tank fixed the problem, $340 and shes like new.

this happened at 33k on our 07 heritage..
