Hard starting
Hi guys I have a 2001 road king FLHRI it starts fine when cold but when hot it cranks fine but won’t turn over and I do smell fuel if I keep trying it will start but I’m afraid someday it won’t sometimes I have to be fast when turning ignition on so the pump doesn’t pump too much fuel and yes it is a EFI

Try NOT waiting for the fuel pump to finish priming when hot. Turn on the ignition and hit the starter. My previous Road King started better when hot by not waiting. So far my new one doesn't care, but it might later on.

I was thinking the temp sensor in the head might be bad. It will allows more fuel when cold, but keeps supplying too much fuel when it's hot. And basically floods the engine.,,

Update
I found out my TSSM is bad but I want to put in a TSS and remove security but Harley Davidson told me they are obsolete even the TSSM is obsolete, so does anybody have any ideas where I can find a TSS module so far I can’t find one I talk to my mechanic he said if you find one it should be plug-in play any suggestions? Also it turns out my mechanic told me it wasn’t getting enough fuel. I thought it was getting too much fuel. He says it’s possibly the TSSM is bad
