Double-tap to Quickly Start (?)
I have noticed recently that my bike requires way more revolutions to start from a cold start these days than I recall in the past. Cold start meaning first start of the day; same story if it's sitting over night or sitting for a few days
I turn it on, the fuel pump primes, then I lean on the start-button - just like always. Except lately it'll take 6~8 revolutions before firing-up. Ordinarily (as in all years past) it would take just 2~3 revolutions to fire-up. Battery is fine and the bike cranks strong - just takes more cranking than in the past.
I also found that if I initially hit the start button briefly causing just 1~2 revolutions, and then press and hold it again to start the bike it will fire-up in about 2 revolutions pretty consistently.
Bike is a 2018 CVO Street Glide with 72K well-maintained miles.
Any experience with this type of situation and/or direction on what to explore would be appreciated!

As Max mentioned above, check the fuel pressure, and then see if it bleeds off too quickly.
There is a temperature sensor that can cause some problems, but that uisually sets a DTC code.
