Hi, all new to the forum as of today. I have a 07 RK that has trouble starting when warm. starts fine when cold, ride it 10-15 min shut it off leave it for 5 and will not/hard to start after. I have a 110 SE big bore kit, 260 cams, SERT, and ES heavy breather. good bat and fuel pump works.&nbsp\\;Thought it maybe vaper lock, but it is a EFI bike. any ideas???

 

Did you check to see if you have spark when this happens? If not could be a coil issue,or mabe the crank sensor needs cleaned but&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; I have never heard of a FI. bike vapor locking....Anyone else have any idea?? Dawg , Doc... Mabe you might tell him what it might be... Oh by the way welcome to the dark side...

 

Thanks White Knight 04, I did replaced the crank sensor and the plugs&nbsp\\;get good spark.&nbsp\\; Its driving me nuts. the guys at the shop have no clue????

 

somewhat the same problem on 07 Eglide....gets hot, won't start till it cool...in last 6 months H-D replaced starter-service can't find the problem-H-D won't let them put another starter on and H-D tech won't return their phone calls on what to do next....aint corporations fun......

silly q but are you turning the throttle when starting? as if you had a carb on it? do you have compression releases?

 

not sure what a compression release is?? or how to release it. I dont hit the throttle when tryin to start, but that reminds me, sometimes when it will not start I get a back fire through the air intake??

 

You no doubt have adjustable push rods, have them checked for adjustment.
