Cool 2007 Deluxe
Having not been on this forum for quite some time, this has surely been hashed over many times . My question is: What did Harley Davidson do to correct the crappy starter problem that 07's-09 , I'm guessing , had , to correct that?

Cool only when hot
When the engine is hot and the bike sits for just a few minutes, it builds compression. Sometimes on hot restart it kicks back on the starter and makes a horendous sound. Problem was corrected in 09, come to find out. My Indy says compression release-type cams are the answer. Glad you guys are not experiencing this problem.
