Why, I don't really know, but it was very strange. Maybe to build oil pressure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garz747 Posted October 30, 2021 Author Share Posted October 30, 2021 Thats possible i guess... I just dont like the sound of a three second starter motor cranking. My bike sits for a week at a time so Ill probably have to live with it. As previously mentioned my Honda started instantly. Once warm its not an issue.

Paladins31 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 My 2017 FJ-09 still has the original battery at 17.5k miles. If it has been idle for too long it is a little slow to fire. Starts quickly if it's come right off the battery tender, or if I have been riding for consecutive days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
