Having the same issues, brining it in to the dealer Monday. Its not bad but its starting, took 3 cranks to turn it over. Warranty will cover this issues, however it sucks that everyone is having the issue in the first place.

I bought the Octane at the dealership and it wouldn't start the first day. They said the battery must not have been charged, so they delivered the Octane to my house the next day (Saturday). Monday it started up in my garage on the second attempt. Tuesday I didn't ride it. Wednesday it started up in my garage and I rode it to work. Then it wouldn't start at the end of the day. The temperature outside was in the 20's. Pretty darned cold out there, but I ride in all temps we get hit with in Virginia. The dealership was nice and picked me and the bike up at work. They charged the battery again, saying it looked like I left the key in during the day. Nope. Didn't leave the key in it. I rode it back to work yesterday and it had a hard time starting, but did eventually start. I rode it again today and now, I'm only hoping it starts up at today after work. I wonder if it is a starter issue.

It is the starter. Victory has had many issues thus far with them. Mine fried at 2K, same issues. Long starting, acting like it was not charging. Long story short, victory replaced the starter and ZERO issues now. Fast starting, perfectly reliable. Your starter is bad most likely, its a factory defect.
