Compression Release ??

I have been reading several post, and talking to HD Dealer ...Still confused !!
I have a 2011 RG when purchased new had 103 kit , cams , tuner , and breather installed. It has always had issues when starting hot, Kicking back against starter. I have extended warranty and just took it in to HD and they told me they could set the compression reliefs ?? Do I have them ?? I still have the stock 96 heads.

What do I need to do to correct the problem ?

Thanks !!

According to what compression your motor is set at, cams they put in, and tune that is in the bike. All can cause what you are experiencing.If it has compression releases and they are working, they may need to be set to kick off later in the cranking sequence. With CR, you should not be having kickback at all. But understand, the tune at crank up could be part of the problem along with the CR.
