Default Battery good

When it's cold outside bike is slow starting. Thought battery is dying. Took it in to have it load tested. Was told its good. I still think it's the battery. Not enough cca to kick it over. Opinions please.

In cooler weather I keep mine on a battery tender, helps with cold starts.

I had the same issue a while back. Then my bike started to cut out randomly when out riding. Had the battery tested and they said it was good, but it still didn't fire right up like my friends' bikes. Took it out a few more times and had the same issue. I even had the dealership look at it to make sure it wasn't an electrical problem and they couldn't find anything.
Finally got sick of it and just ordered a new battery, no more problems. I always keep it on a battery tender now.

If it's your 07 Bob, replace the battery. Who tested it? Autozone?

Put a meter across it and see what the voltage drops down to when you try and start it.

Sounds like you know your stuff!

In the same breath, you can check amp draw.
