Any of the other fellow Gen 5 10r riders have a starting issue? as in a hard start.. takes a few extra "cranks" to get started. I addressed this issue with my local dealer and they said they contacted Kawasaki directly and the reason for the harder start on the 2016 model, stating I am not the only one with this concern, is because Kawasaki shrunk the battery.. and said my bike is fine and they would not recommend replacing it as there is no problem with my battery. I already tested the battery before hand and it did come back as a good battery, with engine off, gauges on, and under load running. If I'm correct, isn't this battery the same one that many bikes use, including previous year zx10r's. thank you for any input!
