2025 rocket 3 prolonged occasional starting.

Recently I notice if I let my bike sit for a day then try to start it, it won't start right away. I have to hit the start button twice for it to finally catch. I have 1600 miles on the bike. I,ve had the bike about a month now.

I use premium gas and all fluids are where they should be. I have had it happen twice so far. I typically ride it to work everyday and will go for a night ride and never have the problem untill I have to leave it sit due to it raining that day. Anyone ever experience this? Seems like the second time I go to start it after the prolonged first attempt it catches right away.

You will notice this if you havent done your first maintenance I believe.

I'm pretty sure tight intake valve clearances make for hard starting.

That would be for all weather temps then?

The ECM will not throw spark if it senses that there is low voltage....When you try to start your cold bike.....try this crank motor for 3 seconds...stop cranking....then hit the starter again...if it starts right away, your bike my be just like others......
