 Dying battery
Pretty sure it's not a dying battery , it's brand new . Maybe a loose terminal but haven't checked that yet but will tomorrow . Had to make an appt. for dealer and leave it but he will at least check using BUDS. Will do that after I check the battery. Dealer did say it's funny it's not showing any codes when it fails .

Faulty DPS doesn't generate a fault code I believe, just a dash warning on earlier trikes - if you are lucky.
The best substitute for brains & knowledge is....................silence.

It did on my 2013 RT. The failure also was intermittent. Took it to the dealer and the DPS was on the list of problem units. Replaced under warranty.

That's good to know IMS - however I wouldn't put a 2013 in the 'earlier' class.

That could mean that it wasn't properly charged before being put into service.
And.....sometimes "brand new" things don't work right.
Edit: But I see that the problem has been located and fixed.

problem fixed
Took it out this afternoon and rode curves back and forth that I had the problem on while testing before checking the terminal and absolutely no problem. A loose terminal on the spyder is a big deal for causing goofy problems .There's a lot of threads relating to the loose terminal and should be the first thing checked ....but on the older spyders it's a PIA big time to do.
