Default 2011 RKC hard starting and back fires
I have a 2011 RKC with a tech o research Pcv and V&H headers with supper trapp mufflers. now what the bike is doing is taking longer to start you hit the start button it and it takes several revolutions to start. But this has happened three times in the past two weeks. Also it back fired twice while starting. It an intermittent issue. There is no codes battery is keeping a charge. Any ideas?

Never heard of the tech o research Pcv, but sounds like the problem is with the PCV map. Can you get into the map on that tuner?

It sounds like you have fuel delivery issues.
