Weird starting thing today...1998 vfr 800

I know, I always say "this weird thing" lol. Its just cause I dont really know how else to put it - so bare with me.

Anyway I stopped at the gas station to fill her up then when I went to start it up I noticed it was almost like it took a split second longer for the starter to engage (only word I can think of). Oh yea, and the time and trip counter reset. I thought little of it so I sat there in the gas station and reset my clock then turned it off to lock in the time. I noticed that same little interval when I went to start it again and the clock has reset again. This was after a 15-20 minute ride on the way to go see my girl as she got off of work. So I just continued over to her work place which was another mile or so from the gas station and parked the bike and went inside for a little bit. When I came out to leave I hit the starter and not a sound or anything came out of the bike. I cranked it into first - then neutral again and it started up without a problem. This is when I questioned myself on whether it was in neutral or not when it didnt start - which im almost positive it was!! lol. Anyway, I rode back toward home and my girl and I met at a grocery store on the way to get some stuff and when I came out to leave the bike started as normal. Anything I should know about before something gets wrose??? I know this may not have anything to do with it but I did fill it up with gas a little more than I usually do..This isnt the first time my time and trip counter has mysteriously reset. But it is the first time I actually saw it happen. The other few times it reset I just happen to notice the time and trip were wrong - I like to monitor my miles using trip between fill ups.

Aloha!

 

How old is the battery?

 

I had the bike for just over a month now and to be honest I never really thought of asking the previous owner that!! lol. So really I have no idea how old the battery is. Maybe get a new battery??

 

there's an old saying .... "it's always the battery"

But seriously, that's the first place I'd look too. Another thing to check is the connections in the starting circuit, starting with the battery terminals. If - when you're trying to start the bike - the voltage getting to the electronics drops below a certain level (usually about 9V), things get reset (like the clock).
