My 95ci Ultra starts strangely. I turn on the ignition, wait for
the little red light to go out and then here's what happens
(sound effects rendered as close as I can with text):

[press starter button with throttle off]

"garunt"

[long silent pause, seems like a second or more. finally:

"oof oof wow oof oof wow oof oof wow oof oof BANG oof oof wow
oof oof KA-BANG oof oof KA-BANG BANG BANG KA-BANG"

[releasing the starter button and giving it some throttle]

"POTATO POTATO POTATO..."

I'm baffled by the long pause after I press the starter button. This
happens even when the battery is in good condition (got it load tested
by a battery dealership) and when the bike is warm, although there's
less cranking before it fires up.

Anyone know what's going on?
