Need Help, Performance and Temp
2009 HD Ultra Classic
50K, Only Owner
PC5(fuelmoto), Rinehart Slip-Ons, SE Stage 1 Air Cleaner, Parade Fan, and MUCH MORE
Well maintained. Synth since mile 4
Bike seems to be running MUCH hotter lately. So hot that the wife is barely able to use her foot pads after about an hour of semi city riding.
When I went to restart it today, it sounded like it had to really try to turn over for a split second then good to go.
Clock reset to 1200. Usually only loses a second at starts.
Bike is dropping ALL power when it starts, it use to only drop the radio some of the time.
Idle and running seems a bit rough.
I know this is all vague. I appreciate any comments and insight.
Mainly, I am looking at what I can do to cool my scoot a bit.
Thanks.

Regardless as to the modifications, sounds way too lean & your getting heat soak when restarting. Common for the later models to have. Unless your Bike was tuned on a Dyno, you have a canned map and sometimes thats not good enough for a specific application. FuelMoto does a good job but nothing beats a real time dyno run & tune.
Electrical issues : Tighten all connections from the battery to the starter, sometimes the battery bolts need replacing, pull all fuses, clean contacts & reinstall, check starter ground & bolts holding it on. Might help....
