Cold Starting Difficulty - update!

It sounds like the battery is your problem. If that does not solve it, you might try to find gasoline without any Ethanol in it. I have had difficulty starting several different motorcycles in cold weather when the fuel blend contained 10% Ethanol, but the bikes will start on the first roll over with regular old gasoline. I realize that you may not have a choice in many areas of the country. Around here there are several stations that sell Ethanol free exclusively and several more where you are offered a choice at a slightly higher price per gallon.
