Well I had my battery load tested and apparently the battery is in good shape so it's not the battery. Any thoughts on where I should check next and how to go about it? Possible voltage regulator or stator?

I have had good luck with these batteries. Of course you will get some naysayers; however, I have been using them for years on Harley's since 2016.

https://www.batterymart.com/p-Big-Cr...L-Battery.html $155 with free shipping.

Just make sure you use the spacers provided if you have side mounted cables.

NOTE:
The above information, while credible, is worth what you paid for it and should not be considered gospel.
Do due diligence, research and have a H-D Field Service Manual before working on your bike.
You will probably have many opinions and suggestions presented; make sure you research the person providing the helpful information as there are some who provide good information that is useful and some who speak out of other orifices with gibberish. You will figure out this quickly.

Doesn't sound like a compensator or starter drive issue. Maybe re-load the original tune and see if the problem persists. As others have mentioned, maybe the automatic compression releases are turned off or perhaps the timing is off with the new tune. If the problem persists with the original tune, it might be time for a new starter.

I didn't see anywhere that it gave me an option to turn it on or off. It did ask... Do you want to reset learned fuel Trim values This is necessary ONLY if you've changed and AF related parameters to which I answered YES.

My friend has manual compression releases and when he forgets to use them the bike will start the same as what mine is doing. It will start to turn over but then hesitate because the starter can't turn over because theres too much compression.

Did you open your tune in Win PV?
Look there.

No I didn't.. I just downloaded the original tune and I'm out for a quick ride and so far the bike is back to normal with no hesitation on starting. I'm not familiar with this new Power vision so I'll have to open the app to check it out. I'm still learning.

Edit... Sorry yes I did open the tune in the app. I originally had to call Dynojet because my laptop would not open the tune because it couldn't find a proper app to open it in. The tech done a remote session and found the problem but I did not know I could change any parameters in that specific tune that we downloaded.

So I'm assuming the compression release is shown as automatic... am I reading it correctly?..
