Default starting issue electra glide

Need some help - I have a 2007 Electra Glide Classic, K&amp\\;\\\\\\;N air filter, Rinehart true duals, Power Commander. When starting it is slow to kick off (Yes I know how the PC gets it's power) and most times it kicks back or pops and throws a rear cyl. no compression code. The bike has been on the dyno and runs 13.2-13.5 as straight as an arrow throught out the throttle settings. The bike started great with no issues prior to the Power Commander. Any fixes or suggestions? Thanks - Doc

Some of the older PC's had a problem with starting. If you are turning on the ignition and waiting for the check engine lite to go out, try turning it on and starting right away. It may help.
