Default Street glide automatic compression release

Maybe I'm wrong ,but it seems like when I start the bike when it's cold the starter is almost struggling. The bike starts but it's almost with hesitation. Like boom the starter stops and then the bike fires,almost like the motor does not turn over. Now when it is warm it turns over a couple of times and starts . Has anyone had trouble with the compression release valve?
Bike has 2600 miles on it.

I wonder if there is a chance they aren't activated.
