The first thing I would do is disconnect the battery cables clean them and the terminals. Then make sure you tighten the cables properly, when you reconnect them.
I would say that it is a very good possibility, that is your problem.

I already check them, thanks. The bike only has 2500 miles on it so the battery should be ok. Hopefully they can adjust the timing.

My 2007 ES Springer 110 came from the factory with a compression release. It started so easy.

Have you tried having the startup timing retarded a bit?

I do believe all 110's have them.

Is your a problem hot, cold or both? Mine is just when it's fully hot like after a long freeway ride. Cold start, it cranks over easily.

Hot starts, It will hit with no problem when the motor is cool

Exactly! I'm going to visit the dealer on Tuesday. If you like I'll report back what they end up doing.
