No other issues other than cranking slow? How does the voltage look with the bike off, and what does the voltage do when you turn it over?

Keep in mind though that even if it measures properly with the bike off, it can still be bad...

Talk to a battery man and he can find a premium battery for you; Yusa isn't the best and stay away from gel batteries

Don't get a gel battery....Get a gel battery......Someone chime in. What the best? I just stay with a Yusa, partnered with a battery tender.
