Typically, if it is less than 50 degrees outside, I turn on the bike, finish putting my gloves/gear on (about a minute) and then start the engine. Usually that minute is enough to "warm up" the battery and start the engine.
Is this only in the morning or every time you stop during the day?
Around 4 years ago a Tech told me we should use lithium batteries in the K1300S to save weight.
At that time he said we would need to wait 30 to 60 seconds to start the bike on days when it's in the 30s or 40s, even after a gas stop.
Have they improved where you only have to wait on the first start of the day?
My experience has been that it is just the first start of the day. If it was in the 30s or 40s and I stopped for a 45 minute lunch I could see where you may want to turn the bike on and wait 30 seconds before trying to start it.
