Street Bob cranks slow
I am not sure if this is my imagination or a problem. When I go to start my bike, the first crank over is very slow, like it struggles to make it, then it seems to fire right up. I don't know if this is a battery or starter issue or maybe its a non issue. Anyone else come across something like this? My battery is 4 years old, thought maybe its losing its cranking amps.

Check your battery cable connection at the starter. Then check your connections at the battery. If everything is very tight and it still does it drive to the store and buy a new battery. Auto parts stores will check your battery output for free or you can check it yourself. Make sure you a buy a replacement battery that has as many or more cca'a then the original. Skimp here and you'll be buying a new one sooner

I have a '14 Street Bob and it always cranks slow on the first couple cranks when I go to start it.
I've never been fond of the factory batteries either.
Had a MotoBatt battery in my old Honda and that thing was great, but /i don't think they make them for the '14's yet.
Let us know which battery you decided on, if you replace it

My 2011 Street Bob's original battery is starting to go. I will be getting a new one soon. It's most likely your battery does not have enough Cold Cranking Amps (CCA). There is another thing that could cause engine turn over issues though. If you made engine modifications like a high-lift cam upgrade without a compression release. Too much compression can make it hard to turn over a motor.
