+1 the same thing happened to me. Tightened the bolts and haven't had a problem since.

I don't understand... I have push started my Jetta TDI when the battery went dead, absolutely no power. Rolled it down my driveway and popped the clutch and off I drove away. Why is a Harley EFI any different?

I ended up paying the extended warranty deductible and gave them the service bulletin no the loose bolts.

Spent all day Sunday on the bike after getting it back from the dealer and not a problem with starting. I would recommend checking the starter bolts if you own a 07.
