Jessie,
Are you waiting for the engine lite to go out before starting it? Best method is to turn the key on, and hit the starter button instantly....bike fires right up.

From what I've read the 06's and newer need to be started before the check engine light goes out or when you try to start the PC3 needs time to power up again, this is why it cranks longer.
