Picked up a 17 350 with 7 hours, like new.
Battery was dead, wouldn’t turn over. Charged with battery tender a few hours till light turned green on battery tender. Turns over but won’t crank, bump starts and runs perfect.
What could my issue be?
Could the battery be bad. Maybe turning engine over but not fast enough to start?

Of course I can’t find my multi meter now.
Are these batteries specialized where you have to get them online? Does battery plus and places like that cary them?
There are a lot of alternative batteries to standard but make sure you get a sealed battery, if a battery leaks in your bike you will have other problems.

Also check voltage drop when you hit the starter...should not drop much below 10.5 volts when cranking.

Any special way to charger the battery, or does it come charged?
I have one of them cheap battery tenders then a battery charger that can charge at 2, 4, and 6 amps
On a side note, having to jumpstart my bike every Moto I did yesterday made me ride longer than ever before lol
I use the WPS featherlite in mine, But I did get BobPA a Tusk upgrade kit.
