Yes I am using the choke as well as not using the choke, does not matter which way i try it. Its getting fuel I know the fuel pump is working and when it does finally start it runs very smooth and rides very nice, just very slow to roll and start.

Hi guys new here and new to the Venture Royale family. I just bought my royale a couple weeks ago, other then needing new valve cover gaskets and a starter change due to the old one freezing up. It started rough but once started runs descent. I haven't messed with it much but have noticed it takes a long time to roll over and start. Seems like the battery is dead but rolls for a good 10-20 seconds before starting. I stumbled apon this thread and think this may be the issue I have. My biggest question is, is this a big problem with these bikes and starters. If I need to I will be doing this mod before I get the bike on the road, I do not want to be stranded with a bike that doesn't start like it should. Thanks guys for any help.
