Noticed when my 04 ST13 sits for a few days first push of the starter would either get no response from the starter or after a second or two the starter would engage. It always engaged the second attempt and always engaged perfectly the rest of the riding day.
Decided to put it on a tender for a few days, tender light was green, voltage shows 13.06, hit the starter voltage drops to 8 then back to 10, sometimes engages the starter, sometimes requires a second try where voltage will drop to 10-11.
To me it could be a weak cell in the battery or a bad starter or starter relay causing a high load.
I do not know the age of the battery.
Not sure how common this is, any thoughts?
