Default startup issues after update?
just curious if anyone else is having startup issues since updating to the latest firmware? i heard one other report of someone having the same issue as me.

i have attached 2 startup videos. one from Saturday and one from this morning. both videos are the first startup of the day and the bike is kept on the 1 amp charger.

Sounds like the battery needs some help, get out and ride it for a solid hour.

Agree - OP did you do the update in accessory mode or as of you were starting it up?

accessory mode, as i believe that's the only way it can be updated. i have a 5 amp tender and load tester coming tomorrow so I'll see how that goes before swapping the battery.

Your voltage is low when cranking.
Dumb question, are you waiting until the IFCU finishes doing its stuff?
