2006 Ultra

Perhaps it is my imagination, but my cycle seems to take perhaps two more revolutions to fire if I wait for the key light priming to occur when the cycle is cold. When it is warmed from riding, I never wait for the priming delay. My battery is new, the fuel is always 91 octane from the same nearby gas station--and I always press the manual compression releases first thing as soon as I stop anywhere, including in my garage. I only began to notice this after I replaced my very old (8 years, yet still quite good) Harley battery with one from Deka--a good, more powerful battery too. When parked, my cycle is always on the battery tender--and it goes solid green within just a few minutes of being plugged in.

I have no problem with all this. I am just curious if anyone else notices the same situation.

Thank you for your observations.

 

A known Problem with the PC lll, if you wait for the check engine light to go out it has to power up again before starting the bike..

 

I have the PCV, and ALWAYS just hit the start button as soon as I flip the bike to run. Always starts quick... warm or cold.

 

My TTS acts the same if my bike is warmed up and having some PMS. I always hit my CR's right away when getting gas, etc. If I wait for the lights to cycle off, it usually started harder.

 

My ‘03 has a Stage One with the Dealer flash. I always wait for the light to go off. It indicates fuel pump is primed, and it always fires🔥 right up.

 

Thank you all. You provided the answers I needed. My cycle configuration apparently does not need to wait for the priming. Yesterday it immediately fired without waiting.
