Good advice. And don't forget the often overlooked ground cable connection.

Typical old Dyna issue. My 07 did that from day 1. I just lived with it till it took too long of a "wait" till it started. Get a solenoid rebuild kit from your favorite Stealer.

Is it really typical? My 08 fxdl doesn’t do that at all. Ride her 3 or 4 times a week and not on a tender. I power her up, wait for 2 to 3 seconds and she fires right up each time. Harley battery and about 1.5 years old.

Good luck OP.
