Welcome to HDForums, from Michigan.

1928 JD two cam? Panhead? 1995 Fat Boy? 2007 road king? A little info helps. Year, model, mods, miles, etc.

Congratulations on your first post to HDF to the forum.

One of the better first posts I have seen that mean absolutely nothing without further information. Maybe list the year and model of your motorcycle and maybe a picture.

I'm old and have a hard time starting also, mostly in the morning before I get my coffee.

All my motorcycles start just fine, cold or in the heat. Hope you get your problem solved.


Maybe do a little maintenance on your battery, cables, etc. and see if it helps.

I would look closely at your muffler bearings.

When was the last time you changed your blinker fluid?

5 minutes is a long time to be cranking over. don't know if a brand new fully charged battery could withstand that.
as stated..post the info the forum members need to assist you.
