Hey all, I Have a 2016 FLSTFBS  with the harley 117 upgrade TTS150 cams 58TB and V&H 2.1.
Once my bike gets hot I get a hard clack and nothing when trying to start it. It tries to turn it over and when it does it wont start untill it cools a little. For like 5 minutes it will spin it 2 or 3 times but once it dont start from that initial try it will do the clacking kickback.  I also noticed my digital Command center in my Spedo will reset the time and be on odometer when I press the start button when hot. Any suggestions? Does this ring true of a belated Battery or a map issue. I did have it tuned by a pro. Should I pester him or throw a battery at it. Thanks
I've never met anyone to dumb to get it but many to smart.

I wonder if the guy tuning it accidentally disabled the compression releases. Or it could be the battery.
I am an adult?? When did that happen, and how do I make it stop?!

Thanks for all input. I did a load test on my battery and it dips to 7.2V on start. So time for a new battery. It is the original. 2016 I'm assuming sold in 2017 almost 4 years old. Not to bad.
