Since new my '21 P1K-3 has been a little hard starting since new. Sometimes taking up to 5 seconds of starter on. Sometimes taking a 2nd try. Lately I have tried putting the gas peddle to the floor 1 time and then holding at about 1/4 to half down and turn key on. Don't know if it is just coincidence but seems to be starting much quicker now, say 2 to 3 seconds of starter on. Every time now. Has anyone had this happen?

Mine always takes about 2 secs to start since rolled out the dealer. 5 seconds seems kinda long (-she-)

🤷‍♂️ I'm sure someone smarter then me will chime in soon enough though, good luck 👍

Are you waiting for the fuel pump/Hello Honda before turning over?

If mine sits for an extended time yes, weeks.

Battery tests good. Turns over good.. Haven't tried spark plugs yet. Runs very strong and no hesitation when it does start. Maybe I am just being a little picky?
Shot a short vid of what you think is "hard starting" and then maybe we can compare and let you know if it's normal or not.........🤔NOMO!!!!!!!
