How do I jump start a 2020 RT - need basic level instruction/vids?
Bike has been sitting since July.. god damn mice found inside the front trunk… Won’t crank. Hoping I can just jump start it.
I’ve searched and can’t find any updates videos on how to do this? All videos I’ve seen are for 2012-13 models!

Just to make replies a bit easier, Scott&Suzy, how deep do you need to go? I.e. Do you know where the battery is and how to get to it? Do you have a power pack and cables, or does the jump have to be done from another vehicle?

Sadly I need the someone to break it down Barney style! I don’t have any fancy packs. I may have to just buy a new battery? I would end up having to jump it with my diesel truck. Can someone post a video of where the battery is located and how to get to it? I see the fuse box inside the front trunk…

KISS - IMHO start with the least expensive option ..... Take jumper cables - connect to car or trk battery ( correctly ) leave veh ... OFF connect the Spyder battery .... try to start it .... if this fails, make sure you actually have current flowing thru the system, does it even try to start ???? .... if yes have battery LOAD - TESTED ( it's free at most auto parts stores ) let us know what happened ....
