Back fire at times
« on: February 04, 2014, 05:38:32 AM »
I have an 08 110 ultra classic, sometimes when we ride , say an hour long trip and stop for lunch . When I go to restart bike it will engine tuts over but does not start right away , when you release starter button it will back fire , then crank right up with only a couple of spins ? I run premium fuel , 11000 miles on engine , is this normal to do this on occasion?

Somewhat common. Cause is lack of fuel for a heat soaked engine. This is usually dealt with if the bike has a tuner and the cranking fuel dialed up a bit. Stock calibration, pretty much stuck with it.

could be a fuel issue.  What mods do you have on the bike?

Also, could be early signs of a failing compensator.

Had the excact same problem and reached out to the members here. Turned out to be the compensator. Below is the thread.

Guess you guys missed the part about it turns over fine but won't fire. Compensator is more kickback related.

We'll traded bikes Saturday, bought a 2013 ultra limited, they gave me the payoff on my bike and I got 13 for 22499.00 and the installed set of RCS slip-ons , highway pegs, changed windshield and gave me a set of data dots to mark bike . Love the way it handles , all together different than the 08 was. Will post a pic tomorrow . Would love to stay on this forum if possible( since I don't have a CVO now)

Speaking for myself you are always welcome. IMHO its what sets this forum apart from the others.
