Default Had to roll bike a few feet to start...

So I decided to throw my battery back in and see if my bike would start considering it's been sitting for a couple months. After hooking up battery I turned the key... all lights turned on but did not hear the fuel pump prime. I rolled the bike about 6 ft, turned the key and I heard it prime, then it started right up. Is this anything I should be concerned with?

Maybe it just a loose connection and it put itself back in place??

Have you tried this since? Did the same thing happen?

It has only happened to me once. I'm sure I did not bump the kill switch... Very strange I know. As I rolled the bike back I heard what sounded like a pop of some sort, I immediately looked at the battery cuz it sounded electrical but wasn't it. Guess I will just see what happens.
