2011TG, motor is stock except for the usual air cleaner and exhaust and Power Commander. Lately when starting hot she backfires, starter kicks out, have to try again.
Seems like it happens after it’s good and hot, today traffic was heavy at the ferry dock. Shut it off when I got to waiting area. After a good 10-15 minute heat soak, time to board. it popped/backfired out the exhaust and the starter kicked out 4 times. Finally started.
Starts fine when cool or warm. Got gas on the way home, started fine. I have Love Jugs too and a fanned oil cooler.
Could the compensator be jumping it’s lobes causing sudden unloading of primary chain when cranking?
48000 miles, I change primary oil at 10K, Redline. I change engine oil at 2500-3000. Redline. Also have Accel coil-on-plug ignition. Spark plugs are recent.
Anybody got a good idea?
