I know its been a while since this thread was active, but thought I would chime in. I have had this problem of slow to start for some time now. First time I brought it in they blamed the battery and replaced it under warranty and seemed to start fine there at shop. I took it home and problem continued, so I decided to record what it was doing during start up which was taking three times to start. So I brought it back to the dealer and said I am leaving it here until you find the problem. At first they could not get bike to do it every time. They checked fuel pressure and it was fine. In one final attempt the tuner thought to leave fuel pressure gauge on to see if pressure bled down. Sure enough, that was it. They replaced the fuel pump for second time...more on that in a minute, and it runs like a champ. I say the second pump because when I first purchased the bike, they installed the wrong o ring on the pump and it was getting blow by which caused the bike to run like crap. This was after I broke down the day I bought it on way home due to bad voltage regulator. Needles to say my faith that CVOs were built by the best with the best parts has been tarnished. But my dealer treats me like family and takes care of me.
