Default 2011 RKC trouble starting - real trouble

2011 Road King Classic has Power Commander V installed and mapped by HD dealership in 2011. Now when i try to start it engine will turn over but not start.
Battery has been tested and is ok. Try to start it about 5 differet times in on setting then I leave it alone come back in about 10 minutes a couple more attempts and then it will start. once started I can turn it off or on with no troubles. I checked all 15 amp fuses and cleaned fuse box and fuses with electrical cleaner, cleaned the ecm and PCV with same cleaner. PUlled and cleaned spark plugs, plugs are fine no tears or cracks. could it be the coil or stator?

Perhaps the ACR (Auto Compression Release) was turned off in the tune? This happened to me after and indy dyne tuned my bike. Symptoms were not as bad as yours but similar.

I would be suspect of any PCV map from the dealership. Not that they are idiots, just that they may not know the ins and outs of the system. I would look closely at the settings and perhaps see if you can get a base map to install and start from again.
