Default Voltage drop?

My stereo loses its memory on some start ups, I know, I know, I don't need a radio, but it's frustrating! Checked my grounds, battery connections and gave each a extra nudge, so anyone familiar with what I should look for? 1989 flhtc
Orig starter.

battery going below required voltage to maintain the memory. I'd start with having the battery load tested.

Where you have the memory wire for the radio wired in ck what the voltage is while cranking.
It's probably dropping to much. I'd wanna see it maintain no less than 9-10 volts
Any other symptoms when it happens??
