First check all connections and grounds. The 2011 RGU came with Auto compression releases but them sticking would be the last guess.
Normally a well cared for battery will last for many years but always a chance the battery has a weak cell

My bikes always do that right before the battery quits. I'll connect the battery tender after a ride and in 15 min. the green light will come on, but will still crank slowly. When this starts to happen, I know I have about three months to buy a new battery.

Ya, I would bet its a week battery. Better change it before you have to find out what bitch it is to push start one.

+1 on the battery replace before you get stuck out away from home not easy to jump start a bike.
