Think my battery is done-14 sgs
About 17k miles on the bike and recently struggling to start. As soon as it starts to turn over it does so very slowly and battery voltage gauge drops way down. After the initial start it fires up just fine when the engine is warm. My infotainment screen has also randomly not been coming on, wonder if this could be caused by the battery as well

4 years is about average for a juicebox; I always get a new one as soon as the cranking seems slow, or I get a hot start kickback. Ain't worth getting stranded over.

Wow! That battery lasted quite awhile.
Drag Specialties makes a nice battery with plenty of CCA's
Deka is a great option too. They build the HD OEM battery.
