Looking for some opinions. My stock battery ('08) will more than ocassionally crank a bit, dip all together and then come back to fire it up. Doesn't seem right. Thanks for any help in advance.

Dirty battery connection. All you have to do is find it and clean it. Or just clean them all and be done with it. That is usually it. Let us know if it works please. Pos. to batt., Pos to starter, Neg. to batt., Neg. to grd.

Yea most just clean the batt. terminals but you have to clean the other ends also. A bad connection is just like a clogged filter. This is just the easy fix. It could be something else.

It appears to have worked for now. Fired it up 2x today, strong, no dip. This wasn't an every time issue so, I'll find out if this was a fix over time. Thanks for your help, it's greatly appreciated.
