Default starting issues

I've been having some issues getting the bike to turn over. It is really slow and seems to be working way harder than it should. It starts every time but it never just turns right over and fires up. I initially thought it was the battery so I started making sure to trickle charge it more often. Every time I plug it in, it reads 90 to 95% charged. If the battery is that charged, I don't know what could be causing the issues. Anyone have any ideas?

Get a screw driver and tighten battery cables on both terminals. Might surprise you
