Does anyone else have this issue that after my bike has sit for 24 hours or more, it is hard to start ? I will turn it on let it go through it’s warmup and then when I pull in the clutch to start it, I will sometimes have to pull the starter down for 15 seconds before it starts. Otherwise when I have recently rode it, it will start within about 2 to 3 seconds
 
It shouldn't be hard to start after 24 hours or even 24 days. I would take it to the dealer and let them figure it out. It's battery related I would think.
 
I am having the same problem.
Let me know if you solve it.

Thanks.
 
Maybe some dirty fuel you have picked up...water...is the tank pressurized?...undo the filler cap and listen for a air release...just some thoughts....

Same here - seems if I leave bike out in cold weather - I need to bring along a mini-jump box ..
Always starts with the mini jump but it is a bear when cold
Will research more — battery shows 375 CCA- so maybe I /we need to seek out a battery with more Cold Crank Amps ?
Thoughts ?????
 
I just keep one of those lithium or regular mini jump boxes with me at all times —cold or hot weather alike !!
Better safe than sorry
